(BrE) a 'spoiled or ruined holiday'


Explanation:
Perhaps the British approach would be different, namely dithcing the treat and joy.

Example sentence(s):
  • When it fails, they are generally disappointed and upset. ... for breach of contract cannot be claimed for mental distress and disappointment

neutral  writeaway: I think that loss of (holiday) enjoyment is better in a legal context. spoiled or ruined holiday would leave the door wide open to interpretation in any case

agree  Lancashireman: 'Compensation for a ruined holiday' or 'compensation for loss of (holiday) enjoyment'? Despite the nine endorsements above, this still reads best in the context of the sentence as it is phrased.
