Out of the Box Pte Ltd v Wanin Industries Pte Ltd

Remoteness of damage in contract in Singapore is governed by the two limbs of Hadley v Baxendale; loss is recoverable only if, at the time of contracting, it was within the parties' reasonable contemplation as a not unlikely consequence, and Lord Hoffmann's broader 'assumption of responsibility' test in The Achilleas is not the law in Singapore except to the extent the concept is already embedded within the two Hadley limbs.
