Types Of Damages And An Analysis Of The Principle Of Hadleys V. Baxadale




Ridhima Mittal, B.COM LLB (Hons.), O.P. Jindal Global University

ABSTRACT

In this paper, we shall discuss the actual meaning of damages which we address or compensate to the plaintiff if found reasonable mentioned under Section 73 and 74 of The Indian Contract Act, 1872, forming the Expectation damages and the remoteness of the consequences of the breach as the basis for calculating the damages, that should be awarded as the compensation to the non-breaching party. The landmark case and judgement of Hadley v. Baxendale will also be broadly discussed and arguments around how it to some extent cuts off the possibility of foreseeability rather than opening doors for it will be made.
