Question

Max and Lew have entered into a contract for Lew to paint Max’s house. The contract specifically states that the job was to be completed by August 25. Lew completes the job on August 26. Max has suffered no loss due to the delay. The job was otherwise done exactly to all contract requirements and specifications. If Max sues Lew for breach of contract due to the missed completion date and if the courts were to award damages, what type of damages would most likely be?

Answer 1

nominal damages

Step-by-step explanation:

Nominal damage is a legal term used to refer to a situation where a contractor or contractor has not complied with the contract clauses signed by both and no economic damage has occurred, but a breach of contract has occurred which is prohibited by law. In this case, the person who broke the law must pay an indemnity (which usually amounts to $ 1 or $ 2) to the person who was "harmed".
