Enforceability of Liquidated Damages Clause for Late Delivery
Synthèse Legislator
Généré par l'IAThe court addressed a dispute concerning whether a contract term regarding late delivery penalties was enforceable as liquidated damages or an unenforceable penalty, focusing on the difficulty of ascertaining actual damages at the time of contracting and whether the stipulated amount was a reasonable forecast of probable harm. The court reasoned that because the actual damages flowing from the breach were difficult to estimate accurately when the agreement was made, and the stipulated charge was not grossly disproportionate to the potential loss, the provision constituted a valid liquidated damages clause and was therefore enforceable, upholding the contractual allocation of risk.
