Written by leading commercial law barrister and academic, Adam Kramer KC, this work, now in its 4th edition, has established itself as a leading practitioner text on the topic of damages in contract law and commercial disputes and is regularly referred to and cited in and by courts.
Part II is structured according to the type of breach of obligation, such as service obligations (includes commercial services, and also employment) loss of use of money, providing detailed analysis facilitating the read across from cases outside the particular practice area (most commodities lawyers don't know landlord and tenant cases, most professional negligence lawyers don't know employment cases, etc). It can be used by those in a particular area (construction, sale of goods, financial disputes) whilst also providing cases and answers outside the specialist works on those areas.
Part III deals with factual causation and actual loss.
Principles of remoteness, mitigation and legal causation are dealt with in Part IV, with Chapter 18 on causation in practice uniquely structured in categorising cases on breaks in the chain of causation by the type of event (e.g. claimant speculation, post-breach dealings with defendants, receipt of benefits from third parties).
Particular types of loss requiring separate examination are dealt with in Part V whilst other matters such as third parties and loss; negotiating damages; non-compensatory damages, concurrent claims and exclusion clauses are discussed within Part VI.
Features
• Very detailed case law coverage and very practical in approach.
• Focuses on English and Welsh law but with substantial coverage of other Common Law decisions.
• Comprehensive, covering both practical concerns/dispute patterns and academic debate.
• To aid understanding and practicality, the book is arranged by the type of complaint (eg mis-provision of services, non-payment of money or the temporary loss of use of property etc).
• In addressing causation, it divides relevant cases and rules between the breach position (what actually happened and what will happen) and non-breach position (what would or might have happened but for the breach, including loss of chance).
• When considering remoteness, mitigation and legal causation, cases are analysed and categorised on breaks in the chain of causation by type of event (eg failing to avoid the danger; failure to terminate the contract etc).
• Cases from all contractual fields are considered, not only those usually referred to (construction, sale of goods, charter parties; professional services) but also those less frequently covered in general works (such as SPAs, banking contracts, breach of exclusive jurisdiction clauses, insurance and landlord and tenant).
• Tort decisions are referred to where relevant, including full coverage of professional negligence damages.
• Detailed explanation of many practically important but often neglected areas, such as damages for lost management time, whether hedging costs are recoverable, and the how to prove lost profits.
What's New
The text has been reviewed and fully updated to take account of important case law developments, in particular:
• Barrowfen Properties v Patel (2025, Court of Appeal, causation and loss of chance)
• BP Oil International Ltd v Glencore Energy UK Ltd (2023, High Court, sale of goods)
• Cessnock City Council v 123 259 932 Pty Ltd (2024, High Court of Australia, causation and actual loss)
• Costcutter Supermarkets Group Limited v Vaish (2024, EWHC 152 (KB), causation and loss)
• Durber v PPB Entertainment Ltd (2024, High Court, damages for breach of contract)

Trusted by professionals for over 100 years, this acclaimed resource sets the standard in non-marine commercial insurance law. With expert commentary on the latest legal developments and a reputation for clarity and authority, it's an indispensable tool for staying ahead in a complex and evolving field.
It explains foundational aspects of UK insurance law—such as the principles of misrepresentation and utmost good faith—and provides an in-depth look at the concept of loss, including key issues like causation and notification requirements. The book also explores specific insurance sectors, with chapters covering third-party liability, the rights of third parties against insurers, coordination between multiple insurers, and the legal treatment of double insurance.
Since the last edition there have been the usual steady stream of reported cases and regulatory developments. Notable examples are cases arising as a consequence of the COVID-19 lockdown dealing with, among other things, important questions of construction and causation, decisions on insurable interest, the application of s.11 of the Insurance Act 2015, illegality, good faith and exclusion of the 2015 Act's provisions, the Third Parties (Rights against Insurers) Act 2010 and aggregation clauses in liability policies. We also consider the new "consumer duty" issued by the Financial Conduct Authority.
