He said: "Where two parties have made a contract which one of them has broken the damages which the other party ought to receive in respect of such breach of contract should be such as may fairly and reasonably be considered either arising naturally, i.e., according to the usual course of things, from such breach of contract itself, or such as may reasonably be supposed to have been in the contemplation of both parties at the time they made the contract, as the probable result of the breach of it." In the opinion of Lord Wright this in truth gives effect to the broad general rule of the law of damages that a party injured by the other party 's breach of contract "is entitled to such money compensation as will put him in the position in which he would have been but for the breach." This rule was stated by Lord Blackburn in Livingstone vs Rawyards Coal Co. (2) as follows : "Where any injury is to be compensated by damages, in settling the sum of money to be given for reparation of damages you should as nearly as possible get at that sum of money which will put the party who has been injured, (1) ; (2) , 39. 992 or who has suffered, in the same position as he would have been in if he had not sustained the wrong for which he is now getting his compensation or reparation.
