Legal Research

I am pursuing a case involving breach of contract, fraudulent misrepresentation, and negligent misrepresentation, and I would like to pay for the provision of UK legal cases demonstrating that a defendant can be sued for the full value of the lost opportunity, regardless of the original defendant's assets.

Here's my explanation:
In a typical negligent case, I would only be able to claim for the loss of a chance. For example, if the original claim was for £100,000 with a 50% chance of success, the court might calculate that I’m owed £50,000. However, what happens next in the calculation is critical.

The loss could then be reduced further, based on the original defendant’s assets. For instance, if the original defendants only had £10,000 in assets, my loss might be calculated as just £10,000, not the full £50,000.

What I'm looking for:
Based on my research and advice from ChatGPT, there are scenarios, such as fraudulent misrepresentation or breach of contract, where the court could potentially allow me to claim the full £100,000, as I would have lost the entire opportunity—not limited by the original defendant's assets.

If you can provide valid UK case examples (at least two) where judgments awarded the full amount without diluting it to the original defendant’s assets, I will pay £200
