Personal Non-Property Rights, Compensation Criteria, Compensation, Satisfaction, Prevention, Nominal Damages.Abstract
The article relates to compensation of non-property damage, which serves as one of the key areas of the Civilistics in an angle of arguing on recognition and protection of personal non-property rights. For the sake of having a comprehensive insight into legal problem, one shall carry out systematic analyses of various conceptual matters related to the topic and determine how the Georgian model ensures protection of non-property rights in line with standard of trust, which has been cultivated by the progressive rule of laws that implies all the characteristics of the information époque.
Doctrinal analysis uncovers numerous problematic issues, which are twofold, caused by limited and vague legislative base and on the other hand, resulted from the difficulty of assigning non-property damage to an objective category that limits establishment of uniform legal practice on the matter.
The research is founded on the analyses of both, legislative doctrine and judicial practice. It features the conceptual approaches elaborated by various legislative systems and drawbacks of improvement of Georgian legislation from an angle of comparative legal analyses.
