Unliquidated damages means the amount of damages to be fixed or determined by the Court. 1  The person who commits or is guilty of a tort is called a tortfeasor. ( 2 Gordon v. Lee, 133 Me. 3  361, 178 A. 353, 355).
In Tort Law mitigation of damages refers to conduct by the plaintiff that, although not constituting a civil wrong itself, may reduce the plaintiff's recovery. For example, if the victim of an assault used provocative words prior to the assault, the words may mitigate the plaintiff's damages.
