Partner Reza Mohtashami QC and senior associate Farouk El-Hosseny of Three Crowns, and Romilly Holland, a senior associate at McDermott Will & Emery, recently co-authored a chapter in The Guide to Damages in International Arbitration – Fourth Edition. Their chapter, “Non-Compensatory Damages in Civil and Common Law Jurisdictions: Requirements and Underlying Principles,” reviews the award of non-compensatory damages under common law and civil law systems. The chapter also looks at the limitations on an arbitral tribunal’s authority to award non-compensatory damages before considering the position under international law and also explores the extent to which moral damages are assuming a non-compensatory function.
