Anglia Television Ltd v Reed [1972] 1 QB 60 is an English contract law case, concerning the right to reliance damages for loss flowing from a breach of contract.
Lord Denning MR held that expenditure incurred before could be claimed, so long as it was within the contemplation of the parties. Here Reed would have known of considerable expense.
So not ã854.65 awarded (after) but the full ã2750 (before as well) for all the directors, designers, stage managers, and assistant managers' fees.
