Answer:

Special damages

Step-by-step explanation:

Special damages are a specific type of damages available for breach of contract.

Special damages awards cover losses besides the contractual losses; this may include a broad range of losses such as loss of profits or damage to business reputation.

Special damages are often requested in addition to general damages.
