On May 20, a bar candidate hires a tutor for tutorial services to begin on June 1. The bar candidate is to pay the tutor her fee of $5,000 on June 1. On May 31, the tutor informs the candidate that she will be in the hospital and will not be able to tutor him. The bar candidate hires another tutor for $7,500. He fails the bar exam and blames the second tutor, with whose services he is dissatisfied. Nevertheless, he sues the original tutor for breach of contract.

The bar candidate should recover:

B. Nothing because he failed the bar exam.

C. $2,500, or the difference between the original tutor's contract price and the new tutor's contract price.
