In the Walgreen dispute in the Case Opener,the appellate court agreed with the trial court judge that it would be extremely difficult for the court to calculate adequately how to determine damages that Walgreen would sustain if Sara Creek were allowed simply to violate the contract's exclusivity clause and lease space to another drugstore.The court would have had to determine how much business the new store would take from Walgreen over the course of the next ten years,and it felt that such a calculation would be almost impossible to figure.Hence,the court agreed that money damages would not be adequate and that an injunction prohibiting the leasing of the space in violation of the exclusivity clause would be the only adequate remedy.
