Catchwords

assessment of damages-consent judgment-assessment of damages and account for profits-special damages must be specifically pleaded-claim for diminution in the share value is barred by the “reflective loss” principle-general damages and an account of profits are alternative remedies and the aggrieved party is required to elect which remedy to pursue-no action lies at the suit of a member suing in that capacity to make good a diminution in the value of his shareholding, where it is merely a reflection of the loss suffered by the company-a plaintiff can obtain Judgment for both general damages and an account of profits but he must at execution stage elect which to enforce-order granting the respondent both damages and an account of profits had to be set aside. The respondent would have to elect the one or the other-a party should in general not be required to elect between remedies unless and until he was able to make an informed choice-the authorities make it clear that damages and an account of profits are alternative remedies and the aggrieved party is required to elect which remedy to pursue-A corporate plaintiff cannot be granted aggravated damages-only two categories where exemplary damages can be awarded. The two categories are-oppressive, arbitrary or unconstitutional action by the servants of the Government; or-where the defendant’s conduct has been calculated by him to make a profit for himself which may well exceed the compensation payable to the plaintiff’-
