lucrum cessans
Explanation:
is what the lawyers use (Dad, for one). The concepts you have are moral damage and LOSS OF POTENTIAL PROFIT, not profit per se. (If someone kept you from answering the phone and it was a business call implying a lot of money for you, which you lost as a result, that's an ex. of lucrum cessans).

Thanks for a very clear explanation. Lucrum Cessans is a little too technical for what I need, but loss of potencial profit is excelent.
