Cases On The Law Of Damages

Where compensation in money has to be made for a wrong, a set of principles is needed to govern the assessment of the propert money sum. These principles constitute the law of damages. The principal aim of this book is to give an accurate account of the present law in Canadian common law jurisdictions, with reference to English, Commonwealth, and American cases where appropriate. Recent developments and current trends are analyzed with a view to understanding not only the rules of law but the underlying reaons for them. Where, as is often the case, there is a conflict of underlying principles, a resolution is suggested. The material has been arranged to show connection and analogies among cases where, though the substantive cause of action may be different, the issues relevant to assessment of compensation are the same. Unique cross-referencing to "Injunctions and Specific Performance" by The Honourable R.J. Sharpe has also been included to provide the reader with a workable system from which to access information on legal and equitable remedies within the Canadian context.
