Davis: The only relevant factor in determining appropriate compensation for property damage or theft is the value the property loses due to damage or the value of the property stolen; the harm to the victim is directly proportional to the pertinent value.

Higuchi: I disagree. More than one factor must be considered: A victim who recovers the use of personal property after two years is owed more than a victim who recovers its use after only one year.

Question
13

Davis's and Higuchi's statements most strongly support the view that they would disagree with each other about which one of the following?

It is possible to consistently and reliably determine the amount of compensation owed to someone whose property was damaged or stolen.

Some victims are owed increased compensation because of the greater dollar value of the damage done to their property.

Victims who are deprived of their property are owed compensation in proportion to the harm they have suffered.

Some victims are owed increased compensation because of the greater amount of time they are deprived of the use of their property.

The compensation owed to victims should be determined on a case-by-case basis rather than by some general rule.
