MultiRegion, United States of America
The following excerpt is from E.E.O.C. v. Local 638, 565 F.2d 31 (2nd Cir. 1977):
"The general rule is, that when a wrong has been done, and the law gives a remedy, the compensation shall be equal to the injury. The latter is the standard by which the former is to be measured. The injured party is to be placed, as near as may be, in the situation he would have occupied if the wrong had not been committed." Wicker v. Hoppock (73 U.S. 94) 6 Wall. 94, 99 (18 L.Ed. 752) (1867).
