What are the advantages and disadvantages of bringing a claim based on breach of contract versus bringing a claim under tort law?
What will be an ideal response?
Tort law may provide the client with more potent remedies. If the claim is
based on breach of contract, it is very difficult to recover for emotional
distress and almost impossible to recover punitive damages. However, a
tort claim may justify recovery of damages for emotional distress and, if a
breach of contract is also considered a tort, may justify recovery of punitive
damages. A different statute of limitations exists on each cause of action and
a claim may be time-barred under one statute of limitations, while the other
cause of action may still be timely.
