- Ongoing violation of rights. Compensation is theoretically possible but inappropriate and forces abandonment of rights.
- Difficulty in assessing damages due to the injury's complexity.
- Vindicatory application. Damages are insufficient compensation for property loss; the property owner should receive the property back.
