单词	Loss of a chance
释义	機會損失 In the assessment of damages in contract law, the loss of the plaintiff’s opportunity to obtain benefits that would have resulted from the defendant’s performance (Keep Point Development Ltd v Chan Chi Yim & Ors [2000] 2 HKC 53, 2 HKLRD 145 (CFI)) or the loss of an opportunity to avoid liability was lost: Allied Maples Group v Simmons & Simmons (A Firm) [1995] 4 All ER 907, 1 WLR 1602 (CA). The loss of chance for securing alternative employment can also be claimed as damages: Bachicha v Poon Shiu Man Henry [2000] 3 HKC 452 (CA). The concept of damages for loss of a chance frequently applies when damages are difficult to assess; the court placed may use the loss of a chance of obtaining a benefit, such as profit, as a basis of assessment: Doyle v Wallace [1998] PIQR Q 146 (CA). Substantial damages may be awarded where the breach of contract affects the plaintiff’s credit or establishing publicity: Herbert Clayton and Jack Waller Ltd v Oliver [1930] AC 209 (HL). Such an action may lie with regard to economic loss, damages have been assessed on the basis of a lost chance where the defendant’s breach of contract deprived the plaintiff of the chance of competing in a contest and winning a prize: Chaplin v Hicks [1911] 2 KB 786 (CA). However, where the loss of a chance is exceptionally difficult to calculate, the court may depart from the normal multiplier/multiplicand basis of assessment and award a lump sum: Doughty v Stena Offshore Ltd (The Times, 10 November 1997, unreported). See also Assessment of damages; Damages; Economic loss; Heads of damage; Remoteness. 就合約法的損害賠償評估而言，指原訴人損失因被告人的行為而取得權益的機會(Keep Point Development Ltd v Chan Chi Yim & Ors [2000] 2 HKC 53, 2 HKLRD 145 （高等法院原訴庭）)或失去免除法律責任的機會：Allied Maples Group v Simmons & Simmons (A Firm) [1995] 4 All ER 907, 1 WLR 1602（英國上訴法院）。損失保證另一項工作機會亦可當作損害賠償作出申索：Bachicha v Poon Shiu Man Henry [2000] 3 HKC 452（上訴法院）。就損失所作出的損害賠償理論經常適用於當損害賠償難於被評估；法庭可利用損失取得權益的機會，例如：利潤，作為評估的基準：Doyle v Wallace [1998] PIQR Q 146（英國上訴法院）。當違約可影響原訴人的信用或已建立的宣傳，實質的損害賠償可予以補償：Herbert Clayton and Jack Waller Ltd v Oliver [1930] AC 209 （上議院）。此等訴訟可因經濟損失而成立，損害賠償可根據損失機會的基準而作出評估，當被告人的違約剝奪原訴人在競賽中比賽及贏得獎品的機會：Chaplin v Hicks [1911] 2 KB 786。但是，當機會損失極度難以計算，法庭可偏離正常的乘數/被乘數的評估基準，而作出一整筆款項的補償：Doughty v Stena Offshore Ltd（《時代日報》1997年11月10日，未經彙報）。另見 Assessment of damages; Damages; Economic loss; Heads of damage; Remoteness。
