Généré par l'IA

The dispute involved the calculation of damages following the breach of an agreement, specifically concerning the proper methodology for determining lost profits based on pre-default and post-default performance metrics, where the lower court had applied a flawed measure by using performance data from a period heavily impacted by the breach itself. The appellate court reasoned that using the lower court's flawed performance metrics to calculate damages effectively allowed the breaching party to profit from its own wrong, requiring that the proper measure of damages be based on a comparison of the expected performance under the contract against the actual performance in the period following the breach, thus necessitating a remand for recalculation under the correct, evidence-based standard.
