-Special damages are those that are not presumed as a direct consequence of the act (See: ''Stroms Bruks Aktie Bolag v Hutchison'', [1905] AC 515, at p 525). In other words, special damages are generally quantifiable out-of-pocket expenses. For example, if a person has been put to expense and has receipts showing the amounts spent, these expenses would be classified as special damages. In a personal injury action, this could be medical bills, or in an action involving faulty equipment, repair bills could be classified as special damages. Each and every expense must be strictly proved with documents or other satisfactory evidence.
