Damages for non-material harm
Damages for non-material harm compensate the distress caused by a violation of personality rights.
How they are set
Severity, spread, the parties' circumstances and context. In Turkey they rest on Article 58 of the Code of Obligations; in Germany on serious personality rights violations; in England defamation damages follow their own rules.
In practice
A damages claim does not remove content by itself; removal and injunction claims are made alongside.
