What is the purpose of the Code's remedies for breach of sales contracts?
How is this purpose accomplished?

The purpose of the Code is to put the aggrieved party in a position as good as the one he would have been in had the other party fully performed. To accomplish this purpose, the Code has provided that the courts should liberally administer its remedies. Damages do not have to be "calculable with mathematical precision" but must be proved with "whatever definiteness and accuracy the facts permit." The purpose of remedies under the Code is compensation, so punitive damages are generally not available.
