In case of breach of Contract, the principles for assessment of damages are given in
Answer and explanation
Correct answer B
Hadley v Baxendale established the remoteness principles for breach-of-contract damages: recoverable loss ordinarily arises naturally from the breach or was within both parties’ reasonable contemplation when they contracted. Section 73 reflects these principles and excludes remote or indirect loss. Hyde v Wrench concerns counter-offers, while the other listed cases are not the leading damages authority identified here.
