Old Stinking, Old Nasty, Old Itchy Old Toad: Defamation Law, Warts and All (A Call for Reform)	2008	24	.pdf	application/pdf	11055	730	67	Defamation damages traditionally involve five subparts: (1) nominal damages ('a trivial sum of money awarded' when a plaintiff 'has not established that he is entitled to compensatory damages'), (2) general damages for harm to reputation (called general, because they are generally anticipated, and hence do not need to be alleged), (3) damages for special harm (the 'loss of something having economic or pecuniary value,' such as loss of business), (4) damages for emotional distress (and bodily harm resulting therefrom), and (5) punitive damages (to punish a defendant's outrageous conduct) . 141 Applying these rules to the five categories of damages leads to an entirely different analysis of defamation damages.	cache/inlawrev-3927.pdf	txt/inlawrev-3927.txt
