Vincent Ding  +  98830 Fri, 13 May 05 04:16 AM i'm wondering which one of the subject four phrases is correct or most commonly employed. Let me give you the context: Party A contracts Party B for purchase of a cargo. so Party A has an expectation of possible profits conditioned on Party B's provision of the goods as agreed. In contractual disputes, we often see the buyer or cargo receiver lodges a claim for those profits due to seller's failure to provide the cargo. tks.

So in you case I would recommend anticipated/projected profit. Miche Joined on Fri, Jan 7 2005 Full Member 258 There's always sunshine after rain
