Compensation for non-economic loss; damages for pain & suffering
Explanation:
Pain and suffering already in brackets. So also consider:

Patrick Chaffey's Strafferet translations for oppreisning of 1. redress for damage of a non-economic nature and 2. reinstatement.

Non-economic or non-material (cf. the FR dommages morales) loss includes, in Oz, personal injury generally.

Juridisk leksikon, Egil Gulbransen: skade av ikke-ekonomisk art -skl. § 3-5.

cf. in E&W the narrow category of psychiatric injury or nervous shock - previously known as the tort in Wilkinson vs. Downtown (1897): a practical joker falsely told a mother her child had been injured in a carriage accident and she suffered a nervous collapse. Result: the hoaxer was sued for damages.
