RIZWAN ALI KHAN VS AKZO NOBEL PAKISTAN LTD General damages and special damages---Concept, distinction and scope---The term general damages refer to losses that arise as the immediate, direct, and proximate result of the wrongful act complained of---These damages are presumed by law and typically encompass non-pecuniary harms such as pain and suffering, emotional distress, loss of enjoyment of life, and, in certain cases, loss of future earning capacity due to lasting or permanent injury---General damages are not capable of exact calculation and are usually assessed by the court based on the overall circumstances of the case, applying a broad rule of thumb---Whereas, in contrast, special damages refer to actual, quantifiable monetary losses that, although not necessarily a direct or inevitable result of the wrongful act, arise due to particular circumstances or conditions specific to the case---These may include out-of-pocket expenses, medical treatment costs, loss of income, and other financial losses sustained up to the date of the trial---Unlike general damages, special damages must be specifically pleaded in the plaint and strictly proved through credible evidence, such as receipts, medical bills, salary records, or expert testimony.
