Description

This new work on Damages for Breach of Contract, written by Remedies Law leading expert, Professor Katy Barnett, provides authoritative and practical guidance on the nature, extent and limitations of damages individuals and companies can claim in the event of breach of contract. 
The book deals primarily with English law, but also considers other jurisdictions (such as Australia and Singapore) when relevant. Clearly setting out what the law is, this new title is written with practitioners in mind.
