This article explores whether emotional harms should be considered when someone breaks a contract and what protections should be in place. The researchers argue that including emotional damages in contract law is important for protecting people's interests. They look at the reasons why some oppose compensating emotional harm in contracts and conclude that these reasons are not strong enough. The researchers studied cases from different European countries to see how emotional harm from contract breaches is handled. They found that emotional harm can indeed result from contract breaches and should be taken seriously in legal decisions.
