Conn. Civ. Jury Instr. 4.5-8
Damages - Lost Profits
Any damages you award on the _____ count may include the plaintiff's lost profits. The plaintiff
must prove that it is reasonably certain that the plaintiff would have earned those profits but for
the defendant's breach. The plaintiff cannot recover for the mere possibility of making a profit.
In addition, the evidence must afford you a sufficient basis for estimating the amount of lost
profits with reasonable certainty.
[<If plaintiff also claims future lost profits:> The plaintiff also claims lost profits for the future,
until <insert date>. That time period for awarding future lost profits must be reasonable and
supported by the evidence.]
