Show Suggested Answer

Suggested Answer: C

The correct answer is: 'damages attempt to position the innocent party in the position that they would have been had the contract been performed as expected'. This is a quote from p. 121 Option1 is incorrect as unliquidated damages aren't stated in a contract. Option 2 is incorrect because liquidated damages are an assessment of damages before a breach. Option 4 is incorrect because not all breaches are caused by errors (they can be caused by negligence or the offending party withholding something).
