The scope of the compensation for breach of contract, as the point of breach of the theory and practice of the breach of contract, can be said to be the core issue of the compensation for breach of contract. In this respect, Chinese scholars have many references in their work, but few of them have been discussed in detail. At the same time, due to the complexity of the fact of the breach of the contract and the specific provisions of the contract law and the lack of the relevant judicial interpretation, the determination of the scope of the compensation for damages in the judicial practice still lacks a unified and clear understanding. For this reason, from the angle of comparative law, combining with the case of maritime commercial law, the author has made a systematic and detailed explanation on the determination of the scope of the damages for breach of contract, and made some compensation for breach of contract in China's maritime commercial law. Put forward his own views. Hope to be helpful to the development of the theory and practice of compensation for breach of contract.
