Is a promisor liable for loss of income due to the loss of work hours?
Ontario, Canada
The following excerpt is from Strudwick v. Applied Consumer & Clinical Evaluations Inc., 2016 ONCA 520 (CanLII):
This argument is the understanding behind Hadley v. Baxendale (1854), 156 E.R. 145. The promisor is liable for the ordinary losses the promisor could have foreseen. Beyond that point, the promisor is not liable. This approach to damages governs damages for wrongful dismissal.[4]
