Describe how (or if) the contracts were formed and the terms of the contracts. What were the parties expectation interests? What is your legal analysis and what would be the conclusion? DO NOT simply say "So and so is entitled to compensatory damages". No credit will be given for "It would be the right thing" or anything else along those lines. I am not interested in your personal opinion or what you believe would be morally or ethically correct. Your answer should be based on the law and the information and the preceding chapters, not morals or ethics. For this case, if you determine that one party should win, I want a full explanation as to why. I also want a full explanation as to why the other party should not win. I am not concerned so much with whether or not you come up with the right conclusion, but with your argument and explanation.
