The article focuses on the recovery of mental distress damages in breach of contract cases in an American and Canadian legal context.

The article offers discussions of mental distress damages in tort cases and as related to the Restatement (Second) of Contracts, contract law, and recovery based on the fact of breach. Several cases are cited.
