Abstract

The article analyses two traditional arguments which the spanish
authors have maintained against the compensation for nonpecuniary loss in the Law of Contract: First, in the Civil Code
the precepts about contractual liability refer only to pecuniary
loss. Second, the classic concept of non pecuniary-loss, which is
always connected to personality rights. This research makes a
critical analysis to the main jurisprudential line on this subject,
which allows compensation for non-pecuniary loss without any
restriction. We propose two criteria: damages for non-pecuniary
loss which result from breach of contract can be compensated
only if they are important and foreseeable for the debtor
