Proportionality
A general principle in law that covers several related concepts. It is used as a criterion of fairness and justice in statutory interpretation processes, and as a logical method to assist in establishing the correct balance between the restriction imposed by a corrective measure and the severity of the nature of the prohibited act. In criminal law, it is used to convey the view that the punishment of the offender should fit the crime. القاموس القانوني

Punitive damages
Punitive damages, also known as exemplary damages, may be awarded by a judge in addition to actual damages, which compensate the claimant for the losses suffered due to the harm caused by the defendant. Punitive damages are a way of punishing the defendant in a civil case and are based on the theory that the interests of society and the individual harmed can be met by imposing additional damages on the wrongdoer. القاموس القانوني

Reasonable force
Sometimes known as legal force, is the amount of force necessary to protect or defend a person or their property from another person. The term usually denotes defending against a violent attack, theft or other unlawful aggression. It may be used as a defence in a criminal trial or as a defence in a claim alleging tortious conduct. The use of excessive force, or more force than reasonably necessary for such protection, may result in the defence being forfeited. القاموس القانوني

Reasonable wear and tear
Commonly used in leases to limit the tenant’s responsibility (and therefore liability to repair and redecorate) upon leaving the premises. It is subjective but the considerations include the length of time of the tenancy (the longer the tenancy the more wear and tear can be expected), the lack of unusual damage such as a hole in the wall or a broken window, and the condition of the premises when the tenant moved in (usually evidenced by a schedule of condition). القاموس القانوني
