    This document discusses different legal principles related to harm and damages: 1. Damnum sine injuria refers to cases where harm was caused but no legal remedy exists, such as fees paid for a third of tuition with no reimbursement or defamation with no damages awarded. 2. Injuria sine damnum refers to cases where a legal wrong was committed but no harm resulted, such as being unlawfully prevented from voting but one's preferred candidate still won. 3. Fault refers to cases where negligence resulted in harm and compensation was awarded, such as gross negligence in a traffic accident or failing to address an unattended hazard that later caused a fire.
