Abstract
The article examines the problems of protecting the non-property rights of citizens and legal entities by compensating for moral damage. Based on the available scientific points of view on the legal nature of moral harm, on legal assessments of the severity of moral suffering, a reasonable point of view is expressed on the increase in appropriate compensation by the courts depending on the level of moral suffering of the victim or plaintiff, as well as on the nature and level of damage to the business reputation of the organization. Based on theoretical and legal concepts, the article conceptualizes the institution of compensation for moral damage and proves its particular importance and value among civil law institutions. With references to the works of legal scholars, such types of moral harm as direct, indirect and discriminatory harm are identified. In addition, the author proposes to define non-material damage to the business reputation of a legal entity as reputational harm and to establish the degree of its severity depending on the specific adverse consequences of the acts committed. Special attention is paid to the legal study of the provisions of the current civil legislation on moral harm and its compensation, as well as a comparative analysis of generalized judicial practice in Resolution No. 10 of the Plenum of the Supreme Court of the Russian Federation dated December 20, 1994 "Some issues of the application of legislation on compensation for moral harm" (expired) and the Resolution of the Plenum of the Supreme Court of the Russian Federation "On the practice of courts of the norms on compensation for moral damage" dated December 15, 2022, No. 33. At the end of the study, a scientific analysis of compensation for moral damage in an out-of-court voluntary manner was carried out.
