Pecuniary gain refers to a gain of monetary value. In criminal law, the term refers to any monetary or economic gain that serves as an impetus for the commission of an offence. The following is an example of a state statute defining âpecuniary gainâ: According to Alaska Stat.
Non-pecuniary damages are damages for âpain and sufferingâ, sometimes also described as âloss of enjoyment of lifeâ. These damages are supposed to compensate the claimant for having to experience symptoms caused by the accident, having a loss of expectation of life, etc. The sheer fact is that there is no objective yardstick for translating non-pecuniary losses, such as pain and suffering and loss of amenities, into monetary terms. (Andrews v. Grand & Toy Alberta Ltd., [1978] 2 S.C.R. 229 at 261).
