This thesis proposes a study on what characterizes damages in breach-related termination of contracts. According to the rule provided for in article 475 of the Brazilian Civil Code, the résolution is a form of termination of private agreements, that brings about a definitive end to the contractual program and produces the following effects: (i) parties are released from performing their corresponding obligations; (ii) parties must restitute the obligations that they have received from one another; and (iii) the injuring party must pay damages to the injured party. Considering the retroactive effect of the résolution, the assessment of the damages payable to the injured party should take into account the actual damages incurred by the injured party, without which he or she, at the time of termination, would be in an economic position equal to having never entered into the contract in the first place. In the light of Brazilian law, it is the reliance interest that should be awarded, in other words, the injured party should be compensated for having relied on a useless contract. The composition of damages must include: (i) expenses incurred by the injured party for the formation of the contract and for its performance, which have been rendered useless; (ii) expenses incurred by the injured party due to the breach of the contract by the injuring party, including mitigation expenses; (iii) costs related to the assumption of liability vis-á-vis third parties. In case of loss of profits, the calculation of damages must account for losses suffered due to the frustration of certain or probable gain, which the creditor could have obtained, had he chosen to enter into an alternative contract. In addition, there is the possibility of repairing loss of expected profits resulting from related contracts. Finally, exceptionally in long-term contracts, whose résolution carried only prospective effects, the payable damages may take into account a progressive protection of the expectation interest of the injured party.
