[[Special damages]] are [[damages]] the court awards you for the [[Consequential loss|consequential]] or [[indirect loss|indirect losses]] it suffers upon a breach of contract. Compare with [[general damages]] which are the damages a court awards as a result of [[direct loss]]es arising upon a breach of contract. | |||
Remember, folks: “[[damages]]” are payment orders made by a court. You don’t ''suffer'' damages. You get ''paid'' damages if you suffer a ''loss''. Well, an actionable one, any way. | |||
Legal eagles are apt to confuse “losses” and “damages”, probably because “damage” is, in muggle-speak, a synonym for “loss”. In any case: consequential loss, indirect loss, special damages, consequential damages, indirect damages, special loss: ''all the same thing''. |
