Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Bob can argue that the breach of contract caused him to lose the opportunity to build and maintain his professional marketability, which would have allowed him to continue receiving income in the future. This argument could lead the court to rule in favor of Bob and award him damages. The fact that CSB continues to pay Bob does not necessarily mean there is no breach of contract, as the terms of the contract may allow for such payments in certain circumstances. The top ratings are also not necessarily the only relevant factor in this case, as the contract may specify other criteria for evaluating Bob's performance.
