Overcompensation In Legal Cases
Summary
In the case of Koperasi Kastam Diraja Malaysia Bhd v Yi Go Group Sdn Bhd [2021] 5 MLJ 590, the court emphasized that compensation should not exceed the actual loss suffered by the plaintiff. This aligns with the principle of overcompensation, ensuring fairness in damage awards. The plaintiff must prove the extent of their loss, and the court evaluates the evidence to confirm its validity.
