Abstract
This chapter discusses whether courts are justified in requiring parties who breach their contracts to disgorge their gains or to be subject to punitive damages. Because remedies are the continuation of rights, one must first identify the nature of the right that contract law gives the plaintiff. Accordingly, it presents a contrast between the function that Fuller and Perdue assign to the contract remedy and Kant's now largely forgotten treatment of contract right. The Kantian account casts light on the inaptness of requiring the disgorgement of gains from contract breach. Turning to punitive damages, the chapter outlines how corrective justice and punishment coexist and are differentiated in a legal order based on rights. Finally, it discusses the difficulties that emerge from the elaborate but ultimately unsatisfying attempt by the Supreme Court of Canada to work out a coherent treatment of punitive damages for contract breach.

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from it
