Answer:

True

Step-by-step explanation:

In contract law and civil law, the duty to mitigate damages refers to the duty that the individual responsible for the wrongdoing must carry out to limit the harm or injury caused by him/her. The duty to mitigate applies both for contract breaches and victims or torts.
