Damages compensation serves as a post-remedy system and substantive remedy system, with the purpose of upholding the ideology of substantive rule of law. It is based on the principle of personal and moral fault liability, emphasizing the actor's intentional responsibility. Under administrative law, damages compensation remedies harm caused by unlawful administrative actions of public officials, grounded in Article 29 of the Constitution, applying the State Compensation Act as the general law and the Civil Act supplementarily. Under the Civil Act, damages compensation arises from breach of contract, torts, and liability insurance contracts, requiring recognition of a causal relationship between the tort and the damage. The scope of compensation includes both property and non-pecuniary damages, with monetary compensation as the principle under the doctrines of restitution and monetary compensation.
