    b. Special damages

    Explanation:

    Damages are remedies paid to claimants or plaintiffs as compensation for loss or injury caused by the defendant.

    Special damages compensate the claimant for quantifiable monetary losses which can be either direct losses or consequential damages. For example the cost of replacement of damaged property is categorized as a direct loss and lost earnings relates to consequential damages.

    The $100,000 worth of porcelain that was damaged is a direct loss which may be recovered by CraftCo under special damages.
