Lesson Plan

• Describe the main categories of contractual remedies (damages, equitable remedies, restitution).
• Explain the test for consequential damages (Hadley v Baxendale) and when each type of damage applies.
• Apply the decision‑making checklist to select an appropriate remedy for a given breach scenario.
• Analyse leading case authority to justify the choice of remedy.

• Projector and screen for slide presentation
• Handout summarising remedies and key cases
• Worksheet with case scenarios and checklist
• Whiteboard and markers
• PowerPoint slides with flowchart diagram

Begin with a short video clip illustrating a real‑world contract breach and ask students what they think the injured party should receive. Review prior knowledge of contract formation and link it to the need for remedies. State that by the end of the lesson they will be able to identify and justify the most appropriate remedy.

1. Do‑now (5'): Students list any remedies they recall from previous lessons.
2. Mini‑lecture (15'): Overview of damages, equitable remedies, and restitution with case examples.
3. Interactive case‑analysis (20'): In groups, students work through a scenario using the checklist; teacher circulates to prompt reasoning.
4. Whole‑class debrief (10'): Groups present their chosen remedy and justify using leading cases.
5. Flowchart activity (5'): Students complete a partially‑filled decision flowchart on the handout.
6. Formative quiz (5'): Quick Kahoot! questions to check understanding of key tests (e.g., Hadley v Baxendale).

Summarise the hierarchy of remedies and the factors influencing their selection. Ask students to write one exit‑ticket: “Which remedy would you choose for a breach involving unique land and why?” Assign homework to read a short excerpt on limitation periods and prepare a brief note on how defences affect remedy choice.
