Lets assume now that a party has breached a contract. In this part of the course project, you will analyze various scenarios in which a breach has occurred and indicate what remedy a court is likely to award the non-breaching party.

1. Directions:

• Analyze each scenario in which a party has breached a contract.
• Identify the remedy you believe a court is likely to award the non-breaching party and draft a short response explaining your reasoning.

Contract Scenario 2:

A contractor agreed in writing to build a house on an owners land for $300,000. The contractors expected cost to complete the project was $200,000. Before paying the contractor anything, the owner changed her mind and repudiated the contract after the contractor spent $50,000 on construction costs for the house. The value to the owner of the partially completed house is $40,000.
