Contractual Interpretation of Liquidated Damages Calculation
Synthèse Legislator
Généré par l'IAThe case concerns an appeal regarding the interpretation of a contractual provision pertaining to the calculation of damages following a breach, specifically addressing whether certain fees incurred by the non-breaching party should be included in the recoverable amount under the contract's liquidated damages clause. The court reasoned that the language of the agreement, read in context with the parties' course of dealing and industry standards, clearly indicated that the disputed fees were intended to be covered by the formula specified in the clause, thereby affirming the lower court's calculation method and rejecting the appellant's argument for a broader interpretation of direct damages outside the stipulated remedy.
