This is the first work to concentrate solely on damages for breach of contract and provides the most comprehensive and detailed treatment of the subject to date. Written by a commercial barrister and academic for both practitioners and scholars, this text explores the familiar principles and the more recent developments of those principles. To assist understanding and practicality, much of the book is arranged by reference to the type of the complaint (such as the mis-provision of services, the non-payment of money, or the temporary loss of use of property), rather than by the more traditional subject-matter specialisms (eg sale of goods, charterparties, surveyor's negligence). Tort decisions are drawn on to the extent that the applicable principles are the same as or usefully similar to those in contract, and there is also detailed coverage of many practically important but often neglected areas, such as damages for lost management time and the proper evidential approach to proving lost profits.
Rezensionen / Stimmen
[The Law of Contract Damages] is very comprehensive; very competent; and, what I think will be seen as its chief virtue by its intended readership, very clear...a handsome and well-made book that will survive heavy use, with highly legible text and useful apparatuses. -- David Campbell * Law Quarterly Review * I enjoyed...every part of this book. Mr Kramer's analyses are carefully developed and almost always useful and illumination. A Canadian judge, lawyer, scholar or law student would find the book very useful. -- Angela Swan * Canadian Business Law Journal *
