I am pleased to announce that I have contributed to this edition, together with my colleagues Counsel Sharmistha Chakrabarti and Counsel Max Stein, with an article titled, “Compensatory Damages Principles in Civil and Common Law Jurisdictions: Requirements, Underlying Principles and Limits.” In this article, we discuss the requirements, underlying principles and limits of compensatory damages principles in civil and common law jurisdictions.
