These include the direct and foreseeable losses of a contract. If I have loaned you £100 against the collateral of your car, and you default, my damages are £100 ''minus'' the realised value of the car (£50 — it was a crappy car). These could conceivably by consequential losses — loss of profit and so on — provided it was genuinely within the contemplation of the parties, foreseeable, determinate and so on. Since consequential losses are of their nature indeterminate, it is very hard to get them awarded in normal circumstances. | These include the direct and foreseeable losses of a contract.
