court's right to reduce or abate the [liquidated etc.] damages payable

Despite the KudoZ, the court has NO right to mitigation - which in BE means right to mitigation of the loss suffered (by the court?!). A UK claimant for damages is under a 'duty to mitigate his loss' i.e. by accepting alt. employment.

In the UK, a court has the right to reduce the damages awarded by a civil jury in a defamation case.

Österr RechtsWB, Juridica Verlag: 'richterliche Befugnis, auf Verlangen des Betroffenen eine -> Konventionalstrafe
eines Dienstnehmers oder eines Organs herabzusetzen.'

'... *Schadenersatzes* durch GLOBALCORE bleibt unberührt. Bei Unternehmergeschäften
ist das richterliche Mäßigungsrecht ausgeschlossen. 4.3. ...'

Peer comment(s):

agree Beate Lutzebaeck : Yep, it's the right to reduce the amount of damages stipulated in a contract, mitigation doesn't come into it. Re the previous KudoZ question: the asker misinterpreted the correct answer to mean mitigation and entered the incorrect term into the glossary.

Very penetrating observations and as sound as Cook's Sound.
agree Shane London : This is obviously correct. 'Mitigation' is not the right word.

I think

in cases of...a judge's discretion in sentencing is excluded

E.g., for shoplifting the judge may let you get away with probation, using his discretionary prerogative, but in capital murder, he is not allowed to give you 6 months in the klin ; instead he must impose the mandated life sentence
