    Provide the buyer with funds for a foreseeable loss beyond the contract

    Explanation:

    Consequential damages in contracts is different from incidental or actual damages because it causes a loss that impacts the business of the other party beyond the contract horizon, when the opposite party fails to fulfill his side of the contractual obligations.

    In the scenario, Nevada's failure to deliver within agreed contractual timing is not just delaying the time of Meatpackers but as a consequence, is also causing them loss in money terms which will impact their business beyond the contract horizon.

    Hence an award of consequential damages to Meatpackers will provide the buyer with funds for a foreseeable loss beyond the contract.
