People are awarded 5,000 UAH instead of the 500,000 they claimed for one reason: non-pecuniary damage has to be proved<\/strong>. The court does not assess suffering by eye, it assesses evidence: medical records, a psychologist\u2019s report, witness evidence, the consequences for work and family. Compensation for non-pecuniary and pecuniary damage goes to the person who showed what happened, what supports it and what it cost.<\/p>\n

Compensation for non-pecuniary damage (Arts. 23, 1167 of the Civil Code) is possible where three things are proved: the damage exists<\/strong>, it was caused by the defendant\u2019s conduct<\/strong>, and there is a causal link between them<\/strong>. \u201cI was very upset\u201d, with nothing to back it, does not persuade a court.<\/p>\n
