Which of the following is NOT a type of damages typically included in contract remedies?

Compensatory damages
Punitive damages
Emotional distress damages
Liquidated damages

The correct answer is: Emotional distress damages

The correct option, which you identified, is indeed emotional distress damages. In the context of contract remedies, emotional distress damages are not typically recognized. Contract law primarily focuses on rectifying financial losses incurred due to a breach of contract, which is why the other types of damages mentioned are commonly included in contractual remedies. Compensatory damages aim to cover the actual economic loss suffered by the non-breaching party and are the most standard form of damages awarded in breach of contract cases. Punitive damages, although not as common in contract disputes, are intended to punish a party for particularly egregious behavior and deter similar conduct in the future. Liquidated damages are specified within the contract itself and serve as a predetermined amount that one party agrees to pay the other in the event of a breach. Emotional distress damages, while recognized in tort law, deal with psychological impact rather than tangible economic loss associated directly with a breach of contract, and thus, they fall outside the typical scope of contract remedies.
