Abstract

The Commercial Law No. 36/2005/QH11, which came into effect on January 1, 2006, has been in force for nearly two decades. During this period, the Civil Code, the Construction Law, and various related legal instruments have been replaced, amended, or supplemented, giving rise to certain inconsistencies between the Commercial Law and other relevant legislation concerning compensation for damages arising from breaches of contract. This article examines the legal grounds for liability for damages resulting from contractual breaches, the statutory provisions governing compensation for damages under the Commercial Law, and relevant issues arising in legal practice. On that basis, the article proposes several recommendations for improving the legal framework on compensation for damages caused by breaches of contract.

Keywords: Breach of contract; commercial law; compensation for damages.
