Contracts Lecture Sixteen Contract Remedies: Expectation, Reliance, and Restitution Damages

In this insightful episode, we delve into the intricacies of contract remedies, a crucial topic for law students preparing for exams. Join us as we explore practical strategies, common pitfalls, and expert tips to help you excel in understanding and applying contract remedies. Whether you're a seasoned law student or just starting out, this episode is packed with valuable insights to boost your exam performance. Tune in and empower your legal studies journey! What is the primary objective of expectation damages in contract law? The primary objective of expectation damages is to place the non-breaching party in the same financial position they would have been in had the contract been fully performed. It aims to deliver the "benefit of the bargain" that the injured party anticipated.Provide an example of how incidental damages might be calculated within an expectation damages claim. If a buyer breaches a contract for custom-made goods, the seller might incur incidental damages such as storage costs for the unfinished materials, or restocking fees if they return supplies. These are direct costs incurred due to the breach, beyond the value of the promised performance itself.Under what circumstances are reliance damages typically awarded instead of expectation damages? Reliance damages are typically awarded when expectation damages are too speculative or difficult to prove with reasonable certainty, such as in cases involving new businesses without a profit history. They are also appropriate when a contract is found to be unenforceable or in promissory estoppel cases.Explain the "backward-looking" nature of reliance damages. Reliance damages are "backward-looking" because they aim to restore the injured party to the position they were in before the contract was made. This is achieved by reimbursing them for the expenditures they incurred in reliance on the breaching party's promise.What is the main goal of restitution damages, and how does it differ from compensatory damages? The main goal of restitution damages is to prevent the breaching party from being unjustly enriched at the expense of the injured party. It differs from compensatory damages (like expectation or reliance) because it focuses on the gain of the defendant, rather than the loss of the plaintiff.Describe a situation where restitution damages would be particularly advantageous for the injured party. Restitution damages would be advantageous if the injured party conferred a significant benefit upon the breaching party, but calculating lost profits (expectation damages) is impossible or results in a very low figure. For instance, if a buyer paid a large advance for goods that were never delivered, and the market price of those goods dropped significantly, restitution of the advance payment would be more beneficial than expectation damages.What is specific performance, and when is it generally considered an appropriate remedy? Specific performance is an equitable remedy where a court orders the breaching party to fulfill their contractual obligations as originally agreed. It is generally considered appropriate only when monetary damages would be an inadequate remedy, most commonly in contracts for unique goods or real estate.Explain the two-part test for determining the validity of a liquidated damages clause. For a liquidated damages clause to be valid (and not an unenforceable penalty), two elements must be met: first, the actual damages for that type of breach must have been difficult to measure at the time the contract was made; and second, the specified sum must have been a reasonable approximation of the likely actual damages at the time the contract was signed.How does the principle of "foreseeability" (from Hadley v. Baxendale) limit the recovery of damages? The principle of foreseeability limits damages to only those losses that were reasonably foreseeable to the breaching party at the time the contract w#LawExams #ContractRemedies #LegalEducation

On a quiet Monday morning in January 1979, the peace outside Grover Cleveland Elementary School in San Diego was shattered by gunfire. Sixteen-year-old Brenda Ann Spencer, armed with a .22-calibre rifle her father had given her for Christmas, opened fire from the window of her home—just across the street from the school gates.In a shooting that stunned the nation, Spencer killed the principal and a custodian as they tried to protect children, and wounded eight students and a police officer. When asked why she did it, her response would become one of the most haunting quotes in American criminal history:“I don't like Mondays. This livens up the day.”In this episode we explore the disturbing life of Brenda Ann Spencer. From her neglected and troubled upbringing to the many red flags ignored by adults and authorities, we uncover the events that led up to that horrific day. We follow the chaos of the shooting, the chilling phone call to a journalist, and the police standoff that followed. We then trace her path through the justice system, where she was tried as an adult, and examine her life behind bars, parole hearings, and the claims of abuse that emerged years later.This is not just the story of a school shooting. It's the story of a system that failed to see what was coming—and the lives that changed forever because of it.The One Minute Remaining LIVE show in Melbourne tix on sale NOWBecome a Patreon or Apple + subscriber now for ealry and ad free access from as little as $1.69 a week.

"It's been a year, get on with it". If you are struggling with any kind of loss and want to feel supported and loved, this conversation is for you. Not only will it help you, but you will see that you are normal, and, most importantly, not alone.  *This episode is part of our husband-and-wife healing conversations series. These podcast episodes are recorded outside. We are husband and wife, Liz and Brian, and we are currently staying on the Greek island of Paros with our two young adult kids as part of our year-long trip away from New Zealand.  The episode starts with us walking to a busy cafe. We invite you to come along with us and have a coffee and a chat. I think you need to hear this. Kia kaha (stay strong), my brave friend. Liz and Brian x PS: If you haven't yet joined my inner circle of friends, my life-letter readers, please do. You will be the first person I share everything with. I'd love to have you. Go here to join us.   I was beating myself up pretty badly in last week's behind-the-scenes outdoor podcast episode. I was frustrated and hurting. The thing is, I miraculously managed to get to be fifty-three years old without ever losing anyone significant in my life, so last year, when I lost both parents within a matter of months, I felt like I'd been thrown into the deep end of the murky waters of grief. As you know, there is no handbook for how to grieve. No guide, no nothing. And I didn't know how to do it. So I did what we all do, the only thing I knew how to do. I wiped my tears, stopped talking about it publicly, felt embarrassed if someone saw me with a tear-stained face and kept myself REALLY busy to hide the fact that I felt broken, lost and sinking in sadness. In short, I did what I had been programmed to do. I got on with it. Hoped that it would all go away and never ever come back as long as I lived. But now here I am. Sixteen months later. On this year-long trip. And, for the first time since my mum and dad died, I have time. Too much time, probably. And when you have lots of time and nothing to distract you, the feelings and emotions that have been pushed down into your toes bubble to the surface. And the result is what you heard last week in this podcast. Shame. Embarrassment. Resentment. Anger. Lost. I am learning now (still learning) that this outburst, this wave of "I hate myself-ness", was a cry for help. Because, like many of us who are grieving in a world that is too busy to stop, I didn't give myself the proper time. Or attention. I didn't know that grief is not just a "one-time-never-comes-back-emotion". That it needs to be honoured. Talked through. Given space.  And time. As much time as it takes. In this episode, Brian very patiently (god, I love this man) listens and advises while I remove the self-blame and shame veil. Remove it for all of us. This is what a healing journey looks like. This is grief. Showing up in the rawest, fullest, deepest, most desperately needing to be addressed kind of way. I hope you feel my love and know that my heart will always beat with yours. Stay strong, my darling friend. Yours Liz x And...if you're feeling really, really generous and have a few minutes to spare, it would be wonderful if you'd leave us a review.

“Creative director, curator, publisher, collector” and founder of Sixteen World Xavier Encinas joins me on the podcast for this episode. I'd argue you could also add great podcast guest because he pushes back against this idea that France is a great haven for independent film. As part of his Sixteen artistic venture, he curates the Sixteen Film Institute, with a new film weekly, mostly from around the world, not France. Let's not misstate his argument — he has nothing against French cinema, he lives there. He's planning film events in Paris for this Fall. He's saying, the world of filmmaking especially in Asia is just as exciting. I couldn't be more on board. If you haven't heard of the Sixteen Film Institute platform, you should — and cheers to the creatives making it happen for independent filmmakers. In this episode, we discuss:How he defines himself as an artist;Why he started Sixteen in (no pun intended) 2016 while he was working in advertising and fashion;If ad agencies are okay with second gigs like this and how he combines Sixteen with his career;How he isn't bullish on Paris and France cinema — “we show very few short films from French directors” — and why he thinks that might be;What is the Sixteen Film Institute and the process of how it works; Are filmmakers being too precious with their short films and the place of Sixteen in the market?The audience in France for arthouse films;How Sixteen will start to have events in Paris in October and his plans to grow the company…with humility and sustainability. Xavier's Indie Filmmaker Highlights: Theo Angelopoulos; Chloe ZhaoMemorable Quotes: “ I don't think that I would've been to be able to publish the greatest photographers alive if that would've been a commercial artist.” “The global stage is the stage and France is trying to catch up with it.”“ Yes, the state gives you money, but doesn't make your work visible.”“I value so much the relationship that I have with the artists.” Links:Follow Xavier On InstagramFollow Sixteen Film Institute On InstagramSixteen Film Institute WebsiteSupport this podcast at — https://redcircle.com/first-time-go/exclusive-content

Send us a textWhat if those moments we dismiss as "coincidences" are actually glimpses into something more profound? After spending most of my life as a determined atheist who believed spiritual people were simply not intelligent enough to rely on themselves, I've undergone a remarkable transformation.Sixteen years into sobriety and eleven years into an unexpected spiritual journey, I've completely reimagined what "God" means to me. No longer the rigid cultural construct I was taught to reject, I've discovered what I call "the whisper of God"—that intelligent, intuitive knowing within that guides us toward clarity, peace, and compassion when we're willing to listen.But recently, I've been drawn toward something even more intriguing: the realm of miracles. Those moments when you think of someone and they immediately call. When you feel compelled to reach out to a friend who, unbeknownst to you, is in crisis. Are these really just random coincidences, or could they be something more?After reading a book called "Signs," I decided to conduct a personal experiment, asking my departed father and sister to send me specific signs—butterflies for my dad and hearts for my sister. What followed defies logical explanation: a monarch butterfly appearing outside my window during a coaching call, and later, a profound experience in Texas involving a hotel clerk named Jessica (my sister's name) who assigned me to the 13th floor (the date of my sister's passing was March 13th). When I shared this synchronicity with her, she broke down crying, confiding her struggle with alcoholism and believing our meeting was divinely arranged.Whether you're a spiritual seeker or a confirmed skeptic, I invite you to join me on this experiment into the unknown. What might we discover if we remain open to possibilities beyond our understanding? Share your own experiences with signs or synchronicities—I'd love to hear your story as we navigate this mysterious terrain together.Support the show#thetruthaboutaddiction#sobriety#the12steps#recovery#therapy#mentalhealth#podcasts#emotionalsobriety#soberliving#sobermindset#spirituality#spiritualgrowth#aa#soberlife#mindfulness#wellness#wellnessjourney#personalgrowth#personaldevelopment#sobermovement#recoveroutloud#sobercurious#sobermoms#soberwomen#author#soberauthor#purpose#passion#perspective

Daily News Brief by TRT World

Israel kills over 100 Palestinians in Gaza "Israel has killed more than 100 Palestinians in last 24 hours, including many aid seekers, and wounded hundreds others in besieged Gaza. Meanwhile,the UN agency for Palestinian refugees has warned that Palestinians in Gaza face a severe water crisis threatening them with death from thirst, as Israeli strikes and fuel restrictions have crippled the enclave's water infrastructure. " Trump open to Iran nuclear talks " President Donald Trump has said the United States will hold talks with Iran over its nuclear programme next week, following a 12-day conflict with Israel that drew in the US and left hundreds dead and wounded. Trump claimed recent US air strikes had led to the ""total obliteration"" of Iran's nuclear capabilities, setting the programme back ""decades"". He added that the ceasefire he announced earlier in the week was ""going very well."" However, a leaked US intelligence assessment seen by American media suggested the strikes may have delayed Iran's nuclear efforts by only a few months." Israeli military, illegal Zionist settlers kill four Palestinians in occupied West Bank "Israeli military and illegal Zionist settlers have killed at least four Palestinians in the occupied West Bank. Three Palestinians were killed in Kafr Malik, a village northeast of Ramallah, where dozens of illegal Israeli settlers stormed the area, set vehicles on fire and attacked residents. At least seven others were wounded, including one person in critical condition." Kenya protests turn deadly "Sixteen protesters were killed and at least 400 wounded, with 83 in serious condition, following protests across Kenya. A rights group said most were killed by police. Protests raged across at least 23 counties and coincided with the first anniversary of demonstrations opposing tax hikes that left 60 people dead and 20 others missing." Zelenskyy seeks to buy US air defence systems "Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy has said he had discussed buying US air-defence systems with President Donald Trump during their meeting on the sidelines of NATO's summit in The Hague. He added that Kiev was ready to buy this equipment and support American weapons manufacturers and the two leaders have also discussed a potential joint drone production. "

Barcelona in Spain is famous for its beautiful streets, lined with tall apartment buildings. But the architecture is a problem for many people who have lived for years in upstairs apartments but who now find the stairs unmanageable.In 2008, a survey found that in one district there were 300 people who could not leave their homes alone. A group of volunteers decided to do something about this and got hold of a special wheelchair with caterpillar tracks, so it can be used to take people up and down stairs. After an initial pilot scheme they launched a local service called “Let's Go Down to the Street”, to help elderly residents go shopping or meet up with friends. Sixteen years on, the service is offered across the city.Plus we visit a home for senior citizens in an unlikely location: a university campus.

Opening statements begin today, June 5, 2025, in what's being called the final chapter of the Lori Vallow Daybell saga - her third criminal trial in as many years. After days of delays due to her claimed illness, the so-called "Doomsday Mom" faces her last Arizona trial for allegedly conspiring to murder Brandon Boudreaux, her ex-nephew-in-law. Prosecutors allege that Lori Daybell and her deceased brother Alex Cox planned to kill Brandon Boudreaux in October 2019.  Investigators believe Cox shot at Boudreaux outside his Gilbert, Arizona home, shattering his car window while he was driving, though Boudreaux escaped uninjured. At the time of the shooting, Boudreaux was recently separated from Lori's niece, Melani Pawlowski. According to police reports, Lori and her fifth husband Chad Daybell, along with Cox, told Pawlowski that Boudreaux had a "dark" soul when they allegedly began plotting his murder. This trial comes after Lori was convicted in Arizona in April 2025 for conspiring to kill her estranged husband Charles Vallow adding to her existing life sentences from Idaho for murdering her two children and conspiring to kill Chad Daybell's first wife. After jury selection delays this week - including Lori being wheeled into court in a wheelchair claiming illness - Judge Justin Beresky ordered her presence, stating there was no medical reason preventing her from attending court.  Sixteen jurors were seated Wednesday afternoon, with twelve set to deliberate and four serving as alternates. As the courtroom drama unfolds, we examine what prosecutors must prove in this final conspiracy case and whether justice will finally be served for all victims of the Daybell doomsday plot.
