According to the remoteness test in contractual actions, an innocent party can only recover damages for types of loss that were reasonably contemplated by the defendant as a serious possibility at the time of contracting. In tortuous actions, an injured party is only entitled to recover damages for types of loss that were reasonably contemplated by the defendant as a slight possibility of arising. What is the test of remoteness where concurrent actions exist in contract and tort?
