English

Subject field(s)
  • Tort Law (common law)
CONT

As with other torts, consequential loss is also recoverable in suitable circumstances.

French

Domaine(s)
  • Droit des délits (common law)
CONT

Quant aux dommages‑intérêts pour les dommages corporels et le décès, l’accent est mis sur les conséquences du dommage plutôt que sur le dommage lui‑même. L’évaluation tient compte des pertes indirectes et financières ainsi que de la détresse émotive ou de l’angoisse qui en résultent. Toutefois, si ces pertes sont subies indépendamment des dommages corporels, elles ne relèvent pas des actions pour dommages corporels.

Record 2 2017-03-29

English

Subject field(s)
  • Law of Contracts (common law)
CONT

... the injured party may suffer "consequential" loss. This expression is used in the law of contract in a number of senses. It may mean simply loss of profits (as opposed to the mere failure to obtain the thing contracted for): in this sense it is merely an element of expectation loss. Alternatively, it may refer to reliance loss: e.g. to the expense wasted by a buyer in attempting to collect goods which the seller in breach of contract fails to deliver.
