punitive damages

Generally, tort cases result in compensating the victim and criminal lawsuits are about punishments. Injunctions are court orders that, for example, may prohibit the wrong-doer from harming the victim or prevent the former from trespassing the latter's property. Occasionally, courts may also grant punitive damages, which are costs or damages in excess of the compensation.
