Comparison or Alignment of the Efficient Breach of Contract Theory and the Gain-Based Damages Theory in Common Law; with a View to the Status of two Theories in Iranian Law by Saeid Balipour Babadi, Firoz Ahmady, jamshid mirzaei

“…But these two theories are not only not in opposition, but also aligned. Because efficient infringement applies to “loss-Avoiding” infringements and benefit-based damages apply to “Gain-Seeking" infringements and in addition to the different functional areas, they also have a common goal because both seek to implement the contract in a correct economic path to provide the economic interests of the society.…”
