What is the legal test for liability in cases of tort and breach of contract?
Saskatchewan, Canada
The following excerpt is from Moon v. Stephens, 1915 CanLII 177 (SK CA):
And in Dunham v. Clare, 18 T.L.R. 645, the Master of the Rolls says:— In cases of contract the defendant was liable for the consequences which naturally followed from the breach. In cases of tort the liability was somewhat larger than in contract, but still it was measured by what might have been reasonably anticipated as probable.
