: In English, damages means both the loss itself and the compensation, so this is a tautology.

: right for the US and Oz: damages are the harm caused as well as indemnity payable, even though UK accountants and solicitors etc. are adamant that this is not the case. See also Microsoft's US license agreements http://www.gao.gov/products/B-190664

an unlimited quantum of compensatory (non-punitive) damages
... can be claimed only....
Compensatory damages is not a tautology. Punitive damages are not compensatory.
In the UK, there is a further subdivision into general and special damages. I dare not hazard what category would be claimed for 'wilful design or intent'.
