DAMAGES FOR BREACH OF CONTRACT: COMPENSATION, RESTITUTION, AND VINDICATION BY DAVID PEARCE AND ROGER

DAMAGES FOR BREACH OF CONTRACT: COMPENSATION, RESTITUTION, AND VINDICATION BY DAVID PEARCE AND ROGER HALSON
Posted date: 09/07/2026

“The function of the law is to enable rights to be vindicated and to provide remedies when duties have been breached. The purpose of this article is to explore the extent to which the English courts pursue a vindicatory function when awarding a remedy for breach of contract and, in particular, to examine the function of contractual damages. Vindication describes the making good of the claimant’s legal right by the grant of an adequate remedy. Unless an infringed right is met with an adequate remedy, the right is ‘a hollow one, stripped of all practical force and devoid of all content’. As society becomes more rights-focused and English law more rightsbased, the vindicatory function is likely to become increasingly evident. In this piece two related claims concerning vindication are put forward remedies of compensation and restitution."
