return of the original state of affairs, compensation intended to cover damages
Restitutio in integrum
The latin maxim restitutio in integrum (restoration to original condition) is one of the primary guiding principles behind the awarding of
damages in
common law negligence claims. The general rule, as the principle implies, is that the amount of compensation awarded should put the successful plaintiff in the position he or she would have been had the
tortious action not been committed. Thus the plaintiff should clearly be awarded damages for direct expenses such as medical bills and property repairs and the loss of future earnings attributable to the injury (which often involves difficult speculation about the future career and promotion prospects).
