Article 416Scope of Damages

第四百十六条(損害賠償の範囲)

The purpose of the claim for damages for failure to perform an obligation is to have the obligor to pay the compensation for damage which would ordinarily arise from the failure.

債務の不履行に対する損害賠償の請求は、これによって通常生ずべき損害の賠償をさせることをその目的とする。

The obligee may also claim the compensation for damage which has arisen from any special circumstances if the party did foresee, or should have foreseen, the circumstances.

特別の事情によって生じた損害であっても、当事者がその事情を予見すべきであったときは、債権者は、その賠償を請求することができる。
