Question

Ms. J, a banker, refuses to honour cheque of Ms. F though she had sufficient balance. Ms. F did not suffer financial loss. Ms. F can file a case under which principle?

• A. Injuria sine damnum
• B. Damnum sine injuria
• C. Res ipsa loquitur
• D. Volenti non fit injuria

Hint:

If a legal right is violated, remedy exists even without financial loss.

Answer 1

The Correct Option is A

Injuria sine damnum means violation of a legal right without actual damage. Ms. F's legal right to have her cheque honoured was denied by the banker, even though no monetary loss occurred. Such a violation is actionable in tort.
