Establishing that a counterparty is in breach of contract is only the first hurdle to obtaining proper redress. It is just as important for the innocent party to show that it has suffered a loss as a result of the breach, and to prove what that loss is, or to establish that it should be entitled to some other remedy such as an injunction.
Otherwise, the innocent party is likely to be awarded only nominal damages and may even be required to pay legal costs.
In our latest contract disputes practical guide, we consider the principal remedies available for breach of contract, focusing in particular on damages and how they are assessed, and provide some practical tips.
