Giải thích
Compensatory or expectation damages aim to place the non-breaching party in the position they would have occupied if the contract had been fully performed, no better and no worse. Contract damages are generally not punitive; punishment is reserved for torts or statutory penalties. The remedy is not limited to a refunded deposit, nor is it meant to create a windfall; it measures the injured party's lost benefit of the bargain.
