Corden Homes Pty Ltd v Mitchell

Corden Homes Pty Ltd appealed against the decision of the Supreme Court of Queensland, which had awarded damages to Mitchell for breach of contract. The parties were in dispute over the appropriate measure of damages following a failed real estate transaction. The Court of Appeal, in a majority decision, held that the lower court had correctly assessed the damages. The Court of Appeal concluded that the original damages awarded were appropriate and dismissed the appeal. The majority held that the damages awarded were not excessive, and the lower court's assessment was based on sound legal principles. The majority further held that the appeal did not succeed on any of the grounds raised. The Court of Appeal ultimately upheld the original damages award and dismissed the appeal.
