What term describes damages not specified in the contract but determined by a court after a breach?

• A. Liquidated damages
• B. Unliquidated damages
• C. Construction
• D. Equitable title

Answer: (D)

Damages not specified in the contract but determined by a court after a breach are unliquidated damages. When a contract doesn’t fix a specific amount for breach, the injured party can prove the actual loss in court, and the judge or jury awards damages that reflect that loss. This stands in contrast to liquidated damages, where the contract already sets a fixed amount to be paid if a breach occurs. Equitable title isn’t about damages—it’s a property concept referring to someone who has a fair-right interest in a property before formal legal title is transferred. Construction isn’t related to how damages are categorized.
