CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGE [2 records]

Record 1 2015-10-30

English

Subject field(s)
  • PAJLO
  • Tort Law (common law)
DEF

Such damage, loss or injury as does not flow directly and immediately from the act of the party, but only from some of the consequences or results of such act.

CONT

Damage may be direct, i.e. caused immediately by the conduct done in breach of duty, e.g. injury to a person in an accident, or indirect, or consequential, when it results from the conduct only after the intervention of other factors, e.g. pecuniary loss resulting from a vehicle being damaged. Whether and, if so, to what extent a person in breach of duty is legally liable to another to whom his breach has caused indirect or consequential damage raises the problem of remoteness of damage.
