Peter Jaffey (University of Leicester) has posted Damages and the Protection of Contractual Reliance on SSRN. Here is the abstract:
I argue that a version of the reliance theory of contract provides a coherent account of contract claims and remedies, and a better account than the orthodox approach, once the analysis extends beyond the claim for expectation damages to encompass the various other remedies that arise out of the non-performance of contract, including specific performance and the so-called restitutionary remedies.
