Q: Is there any cases where I can find details about damage claims in a contract
for example: Courts also look at the price of the contract in determining whether certain damages for breach of that contract are proper. A lack of proportion between the two numbers is an indication that the requested damages are improper. In other words, if a party is only be paid a small amount of money in exchange for its services under a contract, courts may take that as an indication that the small payment for services was not intended to expose that party to large financial risk if it breached the contract.
A:
There are, but “damages” is a broad subject, where there are different types of damages, such as compensatory, punitive, consequential, among others. If this is for general knowledge or research, you can find a great deal of information on the subject of damages. If this is for an actual real-life situation, an attorney in your jurisdiction could probably provide more meaningful guidance regarding damages in a contract matter.
