Damages Arising from Breach of Contract, Loss of Revenue, and "Indirect" Damages

Article by LeRoy Lambert

This Article analyzes the maritime-related damages that may be recovered in two broad contexts: breaches of maritime contracts (other than for cargo damage under bills of lading) and “indirect” damages in various maritime contexts. In the first category are included damages for breach of contract for the sale and/or purchase of a vessel, even though such a contract is not “maritime” for jurisdictional purposes. The second category is a catch-all.
