Economic loss is a term of art[1] which refers to financial loss and damage suffered by a person such as can be seen only on a balance sheet rather than as physical injury to the person or destruction of property.
There is a fundamental distinction between “pure economic loss” and “consequential economic loss”, as pure economic loss occurs independent of any physical damage to the person or property of the victim. Usually, "pure economic loss" in tort, particularly in negligence, is not recoverable as damages or otherwise.[2] It has also been suggested that it be called "commercial loss" as injuries to person or property could be regarded as "economic".[1] Examples of pure economic loss include: Loss of income suffered by a family whose principal earner dies in an accident. The latter case is exemplified by the English case of Spartan Steel and Alloys Ltd v.
Martin & Co. By jurisdiction[edit] References[edit] ^ Jump up to: a b c Sorenson T, Davidson M, White M. (2012). Bibliography[edit] Loss of chance in English law. Loss of chance in English law refers to a particular problem of causation, which arises in tort and contract. The law is invited to assess hypothetical outcomes, either affecting the claimant or a third party, where the defendant's breach of contract or of the duty of care for the purposes of negligence deprived the claimant of the opportunity to obtain a benefit and/or avoid a loss. For these purposes, the remedy of damages is normally intended to compensate for the claimant's loss of expectation (alternative rationales include restitution and reliance).
The general rule is that while a loss of chance is compensable when the chance was something promised on a contract[1] it is not generally so in the law of tort, where most cases thus far have been concerned with medical negligence in the public health system. Contract[edit] Remedies[edit] In contract cases, the court is usually interested in securing the performance of what was agreed.
