In this India chapter of Lexology In-Depth: Global Damages; 6th Edition, the primary focus revolves around the provisions of the Indian Contract Act relating to the award of damages and also includes the role of expert evidence. These principles serve as fundamental guidelines that courts often adhere to when granting damages, not only within the context of the Indian Contract Act but also under various other statutes. The authors carry out an incisive survey of the codified rules and common law principles underpinning the analysis and presentation of damages in key jurisdictions worldwide.
