A comprehensive overview of the principles governing remedies for a breach of contract, primarily focusing on the calculation and limitations of damages. They explain causation in contract law, differentiating between factual causation (the "but-for" test) and legal causation (no intervening actions). A significant portion addresses the concept of remoteness of damage, detailing the Hadley v Baxendale rule and its two-limb test, which limits recoverable damages to those reasonably foreseeable at the time of contract formation. Furthermore, the texts discuss the duty to mitigate losses, requiring the non-breaching party to take reasonable steps to minimize damages, and introduce contributory negligence as a partial defense in limited scenarios. Finally, the sources outline various types of damages, including expectation loss (measured by cost of cure or loss of bargain) and reliance loss, while also examining non-pecuniary awards for loss of amenity in cases like Jarvis v Swans Tours and the distinction between enforceable liquidated damages clauses and unenforceable penalty clauses.
