15 February 2011 An ex-gratia payment in this context is a payment made to an individual in respect of loss or damage to personal property in a situation where the County Council accepts no liability for the loss or damage but is willing to make some reimbursement without accepting liability. Most commonly such payments are made to employees in respect of personal property (including clothing or personal items such as spectacles) damaged or lost accidentally. Ex gratia payments are not made in situations where the loss is fully insured, either by the individual or the County Council
