Read the sample demand letter on pages 210-211 of the textbook. Under a theory of compensatory damages, what damages would Jones be entitled to?

Question

What will be an ideal response?

Answer 1

Had the contract been performed, she would have paid $875 for 25 dresses. Instead, she paid a total of $1,875, and received 25 dresses. She has paid $1,000 more than she bargained for, so she is entitled to $1,000 from Mr. Good.
