Course description
Establishing that the other party to a contract has breached its terms is one thing, but what does that mean for the outcome of a claim? How does the law make sure that the victim is compensated for a breach which creates a shortcoming against what was promised when the parties made their contract?
Long the subject of academic debate, this topic really matters in practical terms as it can distinguish between the successful result of litigation and an uneconomic vindication of a party’s position.
In this virtual classroom seminar, leading trainer Ian Gascoigne will look at core areas in the assessment of contractual damages and other remedies, and consider the latest cases from the last two years.

Introduction
Establishing that the other party to a contract has breached its terms is one thing, but what does that mean for the outcome of a claim?
How does the law make sure that the victim is compensated for a breach which creates a shortcoming against what was promised when the parties made their contract?
Long the subject of academic debate, this topic really matters in practical terms as it can distinguish between the successful result of litigation and an uneconomic vindication of a party’s position.
Looking at core areas in the assessment of contractual damages and other remedies, the latest cases from the last two years will be considered.
