Question

Taggart informs Anderson that the satellite television system Anderson installed does not include the PAC-12 network that was promised under their contract and thus disputes the $1000 per the contract he (Taggart) is supposed to pay. Anderson agrees to accept $800 and Taggart is pleased. If Taggart does not pay the $800 Anderson may sue Taggart for $1000.

A. True
B. False

Answer 1

False

Step-by-step explanation:

The contract was renegotiated and the new consideration is now $800, not $1,000. Assuming that one party breaches the contract, the other party can sue for the value of the contract. In this case, if Taggart does not pay Anderson, Anderson may sue for $800. That number will probably increase due to associate costs and other damages, but the original breach was for $800.
