MUJI 2d CV2008
Economic damages. Injury to personal property.
Economic damages include injury to or destruction of [name of plaintiff]'s [item of personal property].
The damages to be awarded for injury to personal property are the difference in the [item of personal property]'s fair market value immediately before and immediately after the injury, unless it can be repaired for a lesser amount. If the [item of personal property] can be repaired for a lesser amount, then the damages are the reasonable cost of repair.
If you find that the repairs do not restore the [item of personal property] to the same value as before the injury, the damages are the difference between its fair market value before the injury and its fair market value after the repairs, plus the reasonable cost of making the repairs. The total amount awarded must not exceed the [item of personal property]'s fair market value before the injury occurred.
