Stillborn Enterprises: Calculating Expectation Damages Using Forensic Economics, Roger Abrams, Donald Welsch, Bruce Jonas

Roger I. Abrams

A breach of contract or tortuous misconduct may prevent a business from beginning operations. Courts are often asked to determine what damages have been suffered, but without a track record of performance that determination is often left uncertain. This article offers a formula that lawyers and experts can use to make these determinations with “reasonable certainty.”
