Lewis v ACT is a decision of the High Court of Australia.[1] The decision is a significant[citation needed] Australian Tort Law ruling for its holdings on the role of damages.

The court unanimously ruled that a purported category of damages called "vindicatory damages" are not recognised as a distinct form of common law damages in Australia, as distinct from existing heads of damage such as nominal or compensatory damages.[2]
