"Even where the claimant can prove his loss, damages are hardly ever a full recompense since 'it must be remembered that the rules as to damages can in the nature of things only be approximately just'. The law on damages places various conditions and restrictions on the principle that the claimant is generally entitled to recover all he has lost by the breach."

Chitty on Contract, 29^th Edition.

Explain and discuss the above statement with reference to decided cases.

Do you think any of the "conditions and restrictions" referred to in the statement operate unfairly on a claimant some of whose loss may go uncompensated?
