Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Consequential damages are damages that result from special circumstances of the plaintiff that were communicated to the defendant, and were foreseeable by the defendant at the time of the contract. Therefore, option B correctly identifies the criteria for recovering consequential damages as damages that "reasonably flow from the breach as a result of the injured party's particular circumstances." Options A, C, and D are incorrect because they either limit the recoverability of consequential damages or are unrelated to the criteria for their recovery.
