The non-breaching party is entitled to damages that place them in a position as if the contract had been performed, with the awarded loss of profits upheld based on reasonable calculations.

Court upheld the Arbitral Tribunal's decision based on the principle that interference is limited to cases of perversity, with findings deemed a plausible view of the evidence.
