Document Summary
In this case, we are awarding damages for the purpose of undoing the harm which the reliance caused him: essentially aims to put the plaintiff in the same position he was in before the promise was made. Incidental damages: include additional costs incurred after the breach in a reasonable attempt to avoid loss, even if the attempt is unsuccessful, ex. Buying a tarp to put over unfinished construction, counsel fees, etc: consequential damages, include personal or property injuries, ex. Gm = ,000 + ,000 : tc- ,000. Gmtot = ,000: ar- ,000, s- ,000 over a. C spends ,000 (assume he spent half of what he expected to expend) to build. House half completed; contract terminated with half-done work. I have paid ,000; c resells ,000 of materials: if on exam, give narrative before numbers. Other loss is zero because we do not see incidental or consequential damages. Already paid ,000 and does not have to pay ,000.
