true or false? The single recovery principle requires a court to settle a matter once and for all by awarding a lump sum for past and future expenses.

The statement is: True.

Explanation:

The single recovery is a principle in favor of the plaintiff and the defendant. The plaintiff can claim the recovery of any damage suffered in a lump sum if the final decision turns against the defendant. From the side of the defendant, the verdict can be reduced in case other parties involved in the case partly rewarded the plaintiff for the harm caused.
