12 DAMAGES EXAMPLE A supplier agrees to supply a ton of concrete mix to a builder in exchange for 100 so that the builder can use it to build an office for a client. The supplier delivers the concrete mix, but it has become damp and turned into solid concrete. The builder is unable to start work on building the office for 2 weeks while he is waiting the new concrete mix the builder takes the supplier to court seeking recovery of the 100 for the faulty concrete mix (general or actual damages = the natural result of the breach) as well as 2.000,00 for the cost of the 2 week delay (special or consequential damages). The 2.00,00 is subject to the foreseeability rule: the court must ascertain whether the supplier could have foreseen the breach (and therefore made alternative preparations, such as keeping a spare ton of concrete mix in stock for emergencies). In addition to these 2 types of expectation damages (=attempt to compensate the non-breaching party for the loss of the benefits it would have received if the contract had been performed) the builder might seek punitive damage. Please note - mitigation of damages Also note reliance principle ( if one party incurs in costs in the reasonable expectation that the contract will be honored by the other party, he is entitled to recover those costs).

33 Exercise 1 The testimony that was given by Reeves went to the heart of the defense that he asserted, which was his lack of the specific intent to escape. In the event that there is a waiver of the attorney-client privilege by the client, the letters must be produced by the attorney for the purpose of inspection by the adversary party.
34 Answers Reeve s testimony went to the heart of his defense, that he had no specific intent to escape. If the client waives the attorney-client privilege, the attorney must produce the letters for inspection by the adversary party.

38 Answer The trial judge s ruling was prejudicial error because it cut off cross-examination on vital issues.
39 Exercise IV In many instances, insofar the jurors are concerned, the jury instructions are not understandable because they are too poorly written
40 Answer Often, jury instructions are too poorly written for the jurors to understand
41 Exercise V The fact that the defendant was young may have influenced the jury. There were no reasons offered by the court for denying punitive damages.
42 Answers The defendant s youth may have influenced the jury. The court offered no reasons for denying punitive damages.
43 Use base verbs, not nominalizations EXERCISE IV We are in agreement with your position, but if it is your intention to cause delay, we will stand in opposition to you. If there is a continuation of this breach, my client will effect an immediate termination of the contract.
44 Answer We agree with your position, but if you intend to cause delay, we will oppose you. If the breach continues, my client will terminate the contract immediately.
45 Prefer the active voice PASSIVE: The ball was kicked by John ACTIVE: John kicked the ball
