Injuria sine damnum means injury of legal rights without damage. The maxim Injuria Sine Damnum refers to the remedies which are provided in the form of damages or compensation in violation of any legal right such that if the legal right is violated then action lies even if there is no harm to another. In other words, it is an infringement of a right where no loss is suffered but it creates a cause of action.

Damnum sine Injuria is a legal maxim which refers to as damages without injury or damages in which there is no infringement of any legal right which are vested with the plaintiff. Since no legal right has been infringed so no action lies in the cases of damnum sine injuria.  Damnum Sine Injuria as the meaning suggests is a situation where a damage of any kind is done to another person without violating the legal rights of the other person. For example, A, a shop owner sells stationery items to primary school students for three years and next to A's shop, B opens another stationary shop and sells his items at a lower price compared to A's. Now, A cannot sue B as he did not violate any of the legal rights of A because by opening a shop just next to A is no illegal act. Therefore, in this case, although A suffered sufficient monetary loss in his business , he cannot sue B for opening another stationary shop. So, we can say A was a victim of Damnum Sine Injuria.
