Abstract

This is the first article that identifies contracts whose breach could cause non-pecuniary losses. It argues that in all cases where the outcome of the promised performance leads to something other than an enhancement of the promisee’s financial standing, the breach will cause him non-pecuniary losses. This proposition provides greater consistency in the law of contract damages. It provides a powerful argument against the existing notion of partial recovery of non-pecuniary losses and replaces it with a more principled and comprehensive approach that is more closely aligned with the general conceptual framework of contemporary contract law. If the principles identified in the present article are applied, all damages, including those for non-pecuniary losses, will be recoverable when the promisee’s performance interest is not satisfied.

违约造成的非金钱损失损害赔偿的可恢复性

摘要

这是识别违约可能导致非金钱损失的合同的第一篇文章。它争辩说，在所有情况下，如果承诺履行的结果导致受诺人的财务状况的改善以外的其他事情，违约将导致他的非金钱损失。这一提议为合同损害赔偿法提供了更大的一致性。它为现有的非金钱损失部分追偿概念提供了强有力的论据，并以更符合当代合同法一般概念框架的更有原则和更全面的方法取而代之。如果适用本条所确定的原则，当受诺人的履约权益未得到满足时，所有损害赔偿，包括非金钱损失的损害赔偿，都将得到赔偿。
