7. DAMAGES AS A REMEDY FOR BREACH
DAMAGES AS A REMEDY FOR BREACH is about claims in court based on breach of contract and the remedy of damages, which is the most common solution sought by claimants in such cases.
The focus is on one of the most used pieces of law in the entire common law world, which is the rule established in the precedent case of Hadley v Baxendale (1854). This case established the rights of an injured (non-breaching) party who has suffered a loss of income as a result of a breach of contract. The case has served as a basis for calculating damages for over 160 years, and this law is used in court by lawyers every day: from Australia to the USA to the UK.
