Per Quod

By which. Used in commonlaw pleading to introduce a conclusion. Sometimes used as the name of the clause averring special damages. PER QUOD CONSORTIUM AMISIT (Lat. by which he lost her company). If a man's wife is so injured that thereby he loses her company and assistance for any time, he has a separate remedy by an action of trespass (in the nature of an action on the case) per quod consortium amisit, in which he shall recover satisfaction in damages.

PER QUOD SERVITIUM AMISIT (Lat. by which he lost her or his service). Where a servant has been so beaten or injured that his or her services are lost to the master, the master has an action of trespass vi et armis, per quod servitium amisit, in which he must allege and prove the special damage he has sustained.

3 Bl. Comm. 142.

This action is commonly brought by the father for the seduction of his daughter, in which case very slight evidence of the relation of master and servant is necessary; but still some loss of service, or some expense, must be shown. 5 East, 45; Peake, 253; 1 Starkie, 287; 2 Starkie, 493; 3 Esp. 119; 5 Price, 641; 11 Ga. 603; 15 Barb.
