2008 Farris Lecture
Speaker: Professor Bruce MacDougall
Topic: “Claiming Gains-Based Damages for Breach of Contract”
Damages for breach of contract are ordinarily calculated from the perspective of what the plaintiff has lost. A calculation of damages based on what the defendant has gained is rare, but recent English and Canadian cases raise the possibility that such a claim might be made in some contexts. This talk will consider what those contexts might be and what the legal basis is for such a claim. The question will be raised as to whether such compensation is even properly called damages.
