Meaning of Injury in the Past
A verbal injury (see more about this popular legal topic in the U.S. encyclopedia), when directed against a private person, consists in the uttering contumelious words, which tend to expose his character, by making him little or ridiculous. Where the offensive words are uttered in the beat of a dispute and spoken to the person’s face, the law, in the United States and some other countries, does not presume any malicious intention in the utterer, whose resentment generally subsides with his passion; and yet, even in that case, the truth of the injurious words seldom absolves entirely from punishment. Where the injurious expressions have a tendency to blacken one’s moral character or fix some particular guilt upon him and are deliberately repeated in different companies or banded about in whispers to confidants, it then grows up to the crime of slander, agreeably to the distinction of the Roman law, 1. 15, 12, de injur.[1]

Injury in Global Commerce Policy
In this regard, injury is: an adverse effect on domestic industry assumed to be caused by the actions of exporters from other countries, for example, through dumping, subsidies or import surges. The entries on trade policy are here. In the case of dumping, action can be taken if there is material injury. The entries on trade policy are here. In safeguards, serious injury must be threatening or have occurred. Both terms allow for a subjective assessment, but serious injury is deemed to be more grave than material injury. The WTO has a highly developed framework for the assessment of injury and any remedial action in the case of injury or threat of injury. The Agreement on Textiles and Clothing permits members to impose transitional safeguards under certain conditions in cases of serious damage, or the threat of serious damage, to domestic industry as a result of increased imports. The Agreement does not say how serious damage is to be understood, though it lists output, productivity, inventories, market share, employment, profits and investment, etc., as variables to be taken into account. See also Agreement on Safeguards and anti-dumping measures.[1]
