Top 6 of 6 law firms for Punitive Damages, Tort Law | Southwark, London

Law firms ranked by client reviews

Punitive damages (also called exemplary damages) are a rare, exceptional remedy in tort, not normally recoverable as a matter of standard compensation. They may be considered only in very limited circumstances where the defendant’s conduct was oppressive, arbitrary, or in defiance of public principles. A solicitor will assess whether the case fits the narrow criteria set out in case law such as Rookes v Barnard and related authorities, and will advise on prospects, evidential requirements, and possible court submissions for such damages. The existence of a statutory or contractual cap, or the availability of aggravated damages, may also shape strategy.
