ABSTRACT
This chapter focuses on various remedies which are available to a person injured by the breach, whether the contract can be treated as discharged or not. Every party injured by a breach of contract is entitled to damages for the loss he may have incurred. In certain circumstances the injured party may obtain a court order for the specific performance of the contract or an injunction to restrain its breach. Proximate damages are the immediate and direct damages naturally resulting from the act complained of, and such as are usual and might have been expected. Remote damages are damages from an injury not occurring directly from and as a natural result of the wrong complained of. Special damages are such as are natural and proximate consequences of the breach, also not in general following as its immediate effects, but which the parties knew, when they made the contract, to be likely to result from the breach of it.
