Profit is excluded, from both the definition of Cost and by Clause 17.6
profit: this is not recoverable, unless expressly allowed for in the Contract. The 'measured mile' approach compares work in disrupted and undisrupted conditions, with the difference between the two being the disruption factor loss of productivity/disruption: in principle this is recoverable, but in practice proving this loss is difficult. overheads: also recoverable – the cost of running the business as distinct from general site costs is expressly allowed for in the definition of Cost. preliminaries: as above, these are also recoverable. direct loss and expense: if these fall within FIDIC's definition of 'cost' - "all expenditure reasonably incurred (or to be incurred) by the Contractor whether on or off the Site, including overhead and similar charges but profit" - and are directly linked to the clause giving rise to the claim, they can be claimed. So what types of loss can be recovered by contractors under FIDIC contracts? Only some of the items which contractors will usually seek to recover are included. "Neither Party shall be liable to the other Party for loss of use of any Works, loss of profit, loss of any contract or for any indirect or consequential loss or damage which may be suffered by the other Party in connection with the Contract." Its Conditions of Contract Clause 17.6 says: The International Federation of Consulting Engineers (FIDIC) provides model contracts that companies base their contracts on. Most contracts deal with the general principle that a party will not be able to recover all its losses by imposing a limit on liability. As far as direct and indirect loss are concerned, although the default position is that a party will be liable for both it is not uncommon for both parties to a contract to exclude liability for indirect loss and certain types of direct loss. Indirect, or consequential, loss is that which could have reasonably been contemplated by someone with knowledge of special circumstances outside the usual course of things.Īny loss which is more remote than either or the above is considered to be too remote, and a party to a contract will not generally be liable for it. 
loss that does not arise naturally but that "may reasonably be supposed to have been in the contemplation of both parties, at the time they made the contract, as the probable result of the breach". Direct loss happens in what a reasonable person would consider to be the 'usual course of things' or 'ordinary circumstances'. 
loss that arises naturally, according to the usual course of things, from the breach. 
The test for remoteness dates back to a case in 1854 and says that a person who breaches a contract is generally liable for two types of loss: This means that even if it is shown that that party's breach caused the loss, if that loss was sufficiently unusual or unlikely then he will not usually be liable for it unless he was aware of some special or unusual circumstances when he entered into the contract. The party in breach of contract will not be liable for losses that are considered too remote. Under English law, parties to a contract will not always recover all of their losses.
