Primary Text
In contracts and quasi-contracts, the
damages for which the obligor who acted in good faith is
liable shall be those that are the natural and probable
consequences of the breach of the obligation, and which
the parties have foreseen or could have reasonably
foreseen at the time the obligation was constituted.
In case of fraud, bad faith, malice or wanton attitude, the
obligor shall be responsible for all damages which may be
reasonably attributed to the non-performance of the
obligation. (1107a)
