If the other party pays you without going to court, it's called a "settlement". If it goes to court and the judge decides (called a "judgment"), the money paid is for "damages".
Is that what you mean?
I thought I was looking for another word but I guess that's it.
Thanks.
If it's the Dutch word you're looking for, then it's "schadevergoeding".
Compensation is the correct term.
Smartengeld maar dan in het Engels Andres.
In Belgium, the Kingdom of simplicity, the money payed as compensation for the damages covered by the Dutch (Netherlands) "smartengeld" is also called "schadevergoeding", or "morele schadevergoeding".Quote:

compensation is what you ask, settlement is what you get.
Ja, bij ons ook, maar ik ben op zoek naar een specifiek woord waarvan ik dacht dat het bestond... blijkbaar niet.
Misschien alleen in mn eigen wereldje.
Restitution?

Nonetheless, Restitution is a monetary payment sometimes ordered to be made as part of a judgment in negligence and/or contracts cases to restore a claim of loss.

Turkish for it.
Edit: Coming from Moussé, obviously it is, my dumbness. It basically is the counterpart of "compensation" and, not being academically educated about law, at least in daily life it is used for "damages" as well. Moussé may come up with the exact legal term for "damages", if any.
Schadensersatz.
