Non-pecuniary loss
Name used in general legal terminology for loss or harm which is not assessable in money on the basis of any standard financial yardstick.
Where personal injury occurs, compensation may be payable for non-pecuniary loss in the form of pain and suffering during serious illness and also physical defects, disfigurement or other permanent after-effects. In cases of industrial injury compensation may be payable for non-pecuniary loss or harm of this kind under the special system called supplementary industrial injury insurance.
