Description
The motion for a nonsuit was correctly denied. The defendants do not urgently contend that it should have been granted but confine their argument chiefly to a Discussion of the exceptions relating to the issue of special damages. Both parties agree that their rights, so far as that issue is concerned, are governed by the following rule: "In awarding damages, compensation is given for only those injuries that the defendant had reason to foresee as a probable result of his breach when the contract was made. If the injury is one that follows the breach in the usual course of events, there is sufficient reason for the defendant to foresee it; otherwise, it must be shown specifically that the defendant had reason to know the facts and to foresee the injury." Restatement, Contracts, s. 330. This doctrine has long prevailed in this jurisdiction (see Restatement, Contracts; N.H. Annot., s. 330) and is implicit in section 67 of the Uniform Sales Act (R. L., c. 200, s. 67).
