| Abstract: | The liquidation of civil damages in Maltese law is currently regulated by Articles 1045 and 1046 of the Civil Code. Diverse and sometimes contrasting interpretations have been ascribed to these provisions which ultimately result in different methods for the quantification of damages. Maltese Law awards two types of damages - actual damages (damnum emergens) and loss of future earnings (lucrum cessans). The quantification of loss of future earnings is based on a formula set by the Maltese Courts in the 1967 landmark case of Michael Butler vs Christopher Heard. |
