Breach of Contract Damages and Subsequent Profit on Resale
Synthèse Legislator
Généré par l'IAA party challenged a lower court's decision, arguing that the assessment of damages for a breach of contract, which included reimbursement for renovation costs for a property that was subsequently resold at a profit, constituted unjust enrichment. The Court of Cassation rejected the appeal, reasoning that the lower court was entitled to consider the entirety of the financial consequences resulting from the breach, including any subsequent profits realized by the breaching party on the resale of the property, as the profit derived from the breach was directly linked to the initial wrongful act and was not an independent source of enrichment that would preclude full compensation for the initial damage.
