Non-pecuniary relief is also called equitable relief. It is the type of relief given where money damages cannot adequately redress the damages suffered. In contract and tort actions, money damages, or pecuniary relief, is usually sufficient to adequately compensate the injured party. But there are instances where money damages are not adequate. Some examples are : injunctions to prohibit injurious behavior before it happens as in labor disputes; partitions of real estate when co-owners cannot get along; setting aside of wills: forcing specific performance of certain kinds of contracts; the modern actions in lieu of prerogative writs.
