2d 312, 319 (1989) (consequential damages must have been "brought within the contemplation of the parties as the probable result of a breach at the time of or prior to contracting"); Bi-Economy Market, Inc

Under New York law, damages must be proved with reasonable certainty, and Kestrel has failed to meet this standard

It is a fundamental principle of New York contract law that damages may not be merely speculative, possible, or imaginary; they must be reasonably certain

well established that the damages may not be merely speculative, possible or imaginary, but must be reasonably certain and directly traceable to the breach, not remote or the result of other intervening causes

Where the claimed losses are based on projected future revenue from anticipated contracts or business relationships that have not yet materialized, the claimant must provide concrete evidence that those contracts or relationships would have come to fruition but for the breach

Causation must be established by a preponderance of the evidence, and the claimant must demonstrate a direct and proximate causal relationship between the breach and the claimed losses
