Gregory Wessel's Case

Erica, I agree with you that Wessel would win the case against Gregory because Gregory did breach the contract. You make an interesting point about only having to pay Wessel for the $500 in compensatory damages. I still believe that he is entitled to $750 in consequential damages, which is the damages the buyer experiences as a result of the seller’s breach with respect to a third party. Wessel had made special guest appearances as the result of his prior appearance on Comedy Hour. Gregory was aware of Wessel’s guest appearances and it was likely that this sort of loss could occur if Gregory breached the contract. In conclusion, Gregory is responsible for both damages caused to Wessel and entitled to the entire amount of $1,250.
