Facts:

Contract for boiler delivery by a boiler maker $($D$)$ and a laundry owner $($P$)$

Defendant broke the contract for failing to deliver the boiler $\mathrm{20}$ weeks late.

P suffered two types of losses:

$(1)$ Weekly ordinary laundry income $$\mathrm{16}$

$(2)$ Special government contract $$\mathrm{262}$ per week

Issue: is D liable for both types of expectation losses?

Legal test: is loss too remote?

Application: usual loss for weekly laundry is not too remote $-$ a reasonable person would know that this loss might occur

Unusual loss for government contract is too remote $($so unusual that no reasonable person would know$)$
