0 something, for example money, that is given to someone to make them feel better when they have suffered in some way: --
My noble friend has shown with considerable success that the solatium which is offered to the local authorities is not by any means adequate.
That leaves out of account the reciprocal right of the parent for damages or solatium in respect of the death of the illegitimate child.
The payment is designed as a solatium for the grief of compulsory dispossession.
It does not contain the solatium for injured feelings which damages for tort normally contains.
There would be no deduction in respect of that industrial injury benefit from the solatium.
This would enable the deceased's right to solatium to transmit to his executor for the benefit of the deceased's estate.
Under the present law loss of expectation of life attracts a small conventional award of solatium.
I challenge them to get up and say that it would be unreasonable to have some money solatium for the men concerned.
