Douglas County (defendant) contracted with Peter Contractors (plaintiff) to construct a bridge. Peter Contractors had completed very little work on the bridge when Douglas County unjustifiably provided notice of cancellation of the contract. Despite being given notice of the cancellation, the plaintiff proceeded to complete the bridge, and brought suit against the defendant for breach of contract. At trial, a breach was found and the judge instructed a verdict for the full amount of the claim in Peter Construction's favor. Douglas County appealed the verdict. How would the appellate court rule and explain? (Be specific and provide your analysis, but there is no need to use the IRAC method of legal analysis.)
