Question

Solomon breaches his contract with Neal to purchase the 500 pairs of socks he had promised to buy. Neal is able to sell the 500 pairs to Renny for a much lower amount. Neal then sues Solomon for dam-ages. Neal will be able to recover:a.the amount in the liquidated damages clause.b.the difference between Solomon's contract price and the amount paid by Renny.c.Solomon's contract price.d.an amount which depends on whether Solomon intentionally breached because he found cheaper socks somewhere else.

Answer 1

Answer:

b. the difference between Solomon's contract price and the amount paid by Renny

Explanation:

Neal sues Solomon for damages as Solomon breaches his contract with Neal to purchase the 500 pairs of socks from him. Although he can sell the 500 pairs to Renny even then he was in loss only as he sells socks to Renny at a lower amount then it's actual cost.

In this case, Neal will be able to recover the difference between Solomon's contract price and the amount paid by Renny.
