One explanation of the survival of a right to damages draws on a distinction between primary and secondary contractual obligations. The breach of a primary contractual obligation, that is, the failure to discharge a duty expressly or impliedly created by the contract, gives rise to a secondary obligation to pay damages. This secondary obligation will arise by operation of law unless the contract itself deals with the matter. 3, record 1, English, - secondary%20contractual%20obligation
