Question:

Canadian Pacific Airlines (CP) agreed to safely transport the Newells’ two pet dogs on a flight from Toronto to Mexico City. The Newells were concerned about the safety and welfare of their dogs, but CP’s employees reassured them that the dogs would be safe in the cargo compartment of the aircraft, and reported to them before they boarded that their dogs had been safely placed in the cargo area. When the flight arrived in Mexico City, one dog was dead and the other was comatose. The Newells sued CP for general damages to compensate them for “anguish, loss of enjoyment of life and sadness” that they allege resulted from the breach of contract. Are the Newells entitled to anything other than compensation for their direct financial loss (i.e., the value of the dogs)? If so, what would be an adequate amount to compensate for the mental distress suffered by the Newells?
