A liquidated damages clause, however, providing for the payment of excessive damages will be interpreted as a penalty, and will be struck out as unenforceable.

Until a few years ago it was well established that liquidated damages clauses must not constitute a penalty or deterrent. It was thought that to be enforceable on breach, the damages specified must be a genuine pre-estimate of the loss that would be suffered.

It is worth noting that the Arabic term used, mostly by state courts, for LDs can be translated as “delay fines” or “penalty clause”, and rarely the term “consensual compensation” is also used.

The Commercial Division courts have upheld liquidated damages provisions where unconvinced that the amount of damages serves as a penalty and where the actual anticipated damages were not easily calculated at the time of the contract. In Honeywell Int’l Inc. v. Northshore Power Sys., LLC, for example, Justice Bernard Fried of the New York County Commercial Division noted that the Court of Appeals has “cautioned generally against interfering with parties’ agreements, and cited the trend favoring freedom of contract through enforcement of stipulated damages provisions as long as they do not clearly disregard the principle of compensation.
