Answer:

Norminal damages

Step-by-step explanation:

nominal damages is simply defined as a little sum of money in form of an award or given(awarded) or granted to a plaintiff when no actual damage was suffered or when the plaintiff is unable to show such loss with sufficient approval/certainty. It is known as a symbolic award usually $1 or $2, which is given to the person when liability for a tort is established.
