Section 73 of the Contract Act – 
73. Compensation of loss or damage caused by breach of contract. When a contract has been broken, the party who suffers by such breach is entitled to receive, form the party who has broken the contract, compensation for any loss or damage caused to him thereby, which naturally arose in the usual course of things from such breach, or which the parties knew, when they made the contract, to be likely to result from the breach of it. Such compensation is not to be given for any remote and indirect loss of damage sustained by reason of the breach. 61Compensation for failure to discharge obligation resembling those created by contractWhen an obligation resembling those created by contract has been incurred and has not been discharged, any person injured by the failure to discharge it is entitled to receive the same compensation from the party in default, as if such person had contracted to discharge it and had broken his contract. ExplanationIn estimating the loss or damage arising from a breach of contract, the means which existed of remedying the inconvenience caused by nonperformance of the contract must be taken into account.
