nawiązka

Polish to English Law/Patents
Nader interesujacą instytucją jest nawiązka przewidziana w kilku przepisach obowiązującego kodeksu. W razie skazania za przestępstwo przeciw środowisku sąd może orzec nawiązkę na wskazany cel (umownie nawiązka ekologiczna). Wyjściowo nawiązką nazywano płaty do obwijania ran, skąd wywodzi się nazwa kary pieniężnej za pobicie lub zadanie ran.

1. Injury or harm to person, property, or reputation; an
inflicted loss of value; detriment; hurt; mischief.
2. pl. (Law) The estimated reparation in money for detriment
or injury sustained; a compensation, recompense, or
satisfaction to one party, for a wrong or injury actually

damages.
http://dict.die.net/vindictive damages/

Vindictive damages are such as are given against a defendant who, in addition to the trespass, has been guilty of acts of outrage and wrong which cannot well be measured by a compensation in money; e.g., where the defendant went to A\'s house, and with insult and outrage seized upon A\'s property, for a debt due by B, and carried it away leaving A\'s family in distress.

In cases of loss of which have been insured from maritime dangers, when an adjustment is made the damages are settled by valuing the property, not according to prime cost, but at the price at which it may be sold at the time of settling the average.
