Well, I should have been more specific. I was referring to cases such as these which play out publicly and not disputes between two neighbors.

One hundred thousand dollar sounds right in the ball park for General damages in usual cases though it'll increase depending on how much publicity the accusation got or if business reputation was harmed. That's just general damages. There's also attorneys fee in two countries and then there are special damages (economic harm caused), and finally, pre and post judgment interest.

Add on top of all that possible punitive damages imposed by a jury. I am a lawyer in India but these are usual common law principles followed everywhere.
