Question: School, a private elementary school, recently received a private grant for building maintenance. School's principal decided that School was in greatest need of new doors

School, a private elementary school, recently received a private grant for building maintenance. School's principal decided that School was in greatest need of new doors so the principal contacted a nearby door company. Door Company offered to give School a good deal on the doors, and School therefore placed an order for 20 doors at a total cost of $40,000. The doors were standard, school-grade doors.

Door Company provided installation advice to School and informed School that the first payment of $20,000 for the doors was due in one week.Before School made its first payment for the doors, School's principal repudiated the contract. The principal ultimately selected and purchased doors from another door vendor. Door Company has sued School seeking restitution as its only remedy and asking for the $40,000 School had agreed to pay for the doors. Will Door Company's claim be successful?
