Could you please explain the remoteness of losses and measure of damages in contract law?
Remoteness of losses are those losses which cannot be recovered for all losses suffered because some losses are too remote (i.e. uncertain)
Losses that are not remote:
1) normal loss which is caused by breach of contract
For eg normal profit from delay in bringing the new plan into use is a normal loss where the other party is liable for it.
2) abnormal loss which is caused by
For eg abnormal profit loss due to new machine being brought late by the manufacturer which result in a loss of abnormal profit. The other party is not liable for the loss of abnormal profit because they were not aware that the machine would be used for making abnormal profits.
Am I correct? Please explain if I am incorrect.
Sounds good to me
