Article 300 of Civil Code

1 - The court shall assess compensation if it has not been assessed in the contract or pursuant to a provision of law. 2 - Compensation shall include the loss sustained by the creditor and the profit he has foregone, provided that this is a natural consequence of non-performance of the obligation or delay in its performance. Damage shall be considered a natural consequence if the creditor could not have avoided it by making a reasonable effort. - Nevertheless, if the obligation arises from a contract, a debtor who has not committed fraud or gross fault shall be liable only to compensate for damage that could ordinarily have been foreseen at the time of contracting.
