Damages for wrongful termination and proof of loss
In Redbourn Group Ltd v Fairgate Developments Ltd [2018] EWHC 658 (TCC) Mr Andrew Bartlett QC, sitting as a Deputy High Court
Judge, held that the claimant was not entitled to recover the fee which it claimed on the ground that the defendant would
have been entitled to terminate the claimant’s appointment lawfully before the claimant would have earned any further remuneration
beyond that which it had already received or in respect of which the defendant had already accepted responsibility. The claimant’s
alternative claim for damages assessed on a loss of a chance basis was also rejected.
