In this case, a court is most likely to award Sheena consequential damages. Consequential damages are court-awarded damages arising from unusual losses which the contracting parties knew would result from breach of a contract. As the consequence of Sheena incurring heavy loss of money was foreseeable, Daniel has to pay consequential damages.
