It is thus distinct from speculations on the Bible and or Christianity such as Dan Brown s The Da Vinci Code . The difference between biblical speculativefiction and general Christian speculativefiction is that the Christian nature of the story is overt.

Refimprove date December 2009 Wikify date December 2009 Speculative damages are damages claimed by a plaintiff for losses that may occur in the future, but are highly improbable. They can not be used as a basis for recovery in tort or contract cases. Example A plaintiff claims the tortfeasor s failure to deliver a shipment not only hurt his current sales, but also customer satisfaction and thus future sales as well. There is, however, one way that speculative damages can be recovered. If the plaintiff can prove that the speculative damages are reasonably likely to occur, he can recover the damages up to the amount that is reasonably likely to occur. The damages do not have to be proven with absolute certainty, only reasonable certainty. ref Cite web title Legal Definition of Speculative Damages url http legal dictionary.thefreedictionary.com Speculative Damages accessdate July 4, 2010 ref For example, if the aforementioned small business owner claims that the tortfeasor s claims hurt his customer satisfaction, and proved it by showing security camera footage of one of his most frequent customers being so upset over the business inability to deliver the product that he ordered that he stormed out of the store and vowed to never come back, then the business owner might have something. However, he would only be able to collect on future sales for that one customer, as no other customer s future sales are reasonably likely to occur.
