Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The normal measure of damages in a contract for the sale of goods is the difference between the contract price and the market price at the time and place of delivery. In this case, since Noni did not deliver the goods, the market price at the time and place of delivery will be the relevant measure of damages. Option A refers to the "benefit of the bargain" rule, which applies in some jurisdictions but is not the default rule in contract law. Option B is too vague and does not accurately reflect the legal standard for measuring damages in a contract for the sale of goods. Option D is also too vague and does not accurately reflect the legal standard for measuring damages in this context.
