Direct loss

Definition: Direct loss is loss arising naturally, according to the usual course of things, from the breach of contract itself, and is therefore foreseeable and recoverable.

Explanation :
In estimating the loss or damage arising from a breach of contract, the means which existed of remedying the inconvenience caused by non-performance of the contract must be taken into account.

Example of direct loss

Two parties A and B enter into a contract for the sale of an antique doll for 5,000. A (the seller) finds out that B (the Buyer) intends to re-sell doll to a collector for a 10% profit. A breaches the contract and sells the doll to the collector; antique value at time of breach is Rs 6,000. The Compensatory Damages equals Rs1000 (60005000). The Consequential damages equals Rs 500 (5000x.10).

 A contracts to buy of B, at a stated price, 50 maunds of rice, no time being fixed for delivery. A afterwards informs B that he will not accept the rice if tendered to him. B is entitled to receive from A, by way of compensation, the amount, if any, by which the contract price exceeds that which B can obtain for the rice at the time when A informs B that he will not accept it. A contracts to buy Bs ship for 60,000 rupees, but breaks his promise. A must pay to B, by way of compensation, the excess, if any, of the contract price over the price which B can obtain for the ship at the time of the breach of promise.

Indirect
Definition: Indirect loss is loss that arises from a special circumstance of the case and is recoverable if it may reasonably be supposed to have been in the consideration of the parties at the time they made the contract, as the probable consequence of the breach. In other words, if the party in breach of contract was aware of the special circumstances of the other party when the contract was entered into, the losses may be recoverable.

 Indirect loss is also called as consequential loss that does not arise naturally
