General rule as to damages
Official statutory text
For the breach of an obligation arising from contract, the
measure of damages, except where otherwise expressly provided by
this chapter, is the amount which will compensate the party
aggrieved for all the detriment proximately caused thereby, or
which, in the ordinary course of things, would be likely to result
therefrom. No damages can be recovered for a breach of contract,
which are not clearly ascertainable in both their nature and origin.
