Janice has been invited to appear on a home improvement show for the remodel of her summer house in Maine. Janice asks Mary to wallpaper her house in anticipation of the home improvement, and requests expensive custom wallpaper and a very intricate design application, for which the wallpaper would cost $5000, plus labor. Mary, excited for a very large job for her solo business, orders the intricate wallpaper and blocks off her calendar for the amount of time it will take to complete the job. After the paper has been ordered, Mary asks some friends to be available to complete the job in time for the show. Janice is informed that she will not be on the show and notifies Mary that she will not need the wallpaper.

In your discussion post, address the following questions:

• Does Mary have a case for reimbursement?
• Under what legal theory might she prevail and what are her damages, if any?
• What ethical theories might be applicable?
