The essays, written by leading experts in the area, raise important and topical issues relating to the law of contract damages from both theoretical and practical perspectives. The book aims to inform readers of current developments, problems, trends and debates surrounding contract damages and reflects an ongoing dialogue on damages among representatives of common law, civil law, mixed and trans-national legal systems. The general issues addressed in the collection include the purpose and scope of damages, the measures of damages, recoverability of losses, methods of limiting damages and the assessment of damages. A special emphasis is placed on the examination of the role of gain-based damages, the meaning and definition of loss, the recoverability of damages for injury to business reputation, the recoverability of legal fees, the rules of mitigation and foreseeability, the dilemma between the 'abstract' and 'concrete' approaches to the calculation of damagesand the relationship between changes in monetary value and the assessment of damages.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eReview(s):\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003e“The work is an informative source of information for current developments, problems, trends and debates surrounding contract damages.” —\u003ci\u003eAustralian Banking and Finance Law Bulletin, Vol 24, No 4\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e“...there is simply not space to do justice to the volume's many noteworthy contributions...” —\u003ci\u003eLaw Quarterly Review, Vol 125\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e“...this is certainly a collection of essays worth having in one's library.” —\u003ci\u003eSingapore Journal of Legal Studies\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e“The publisher, Hart Publishing, should be complimented for this excellent product...This book goes a considerable way towards opening our eyes to the complexities of the damages question in modern contract law.
