Build a Storage Shed: Measure of Recovery

What would be the measure of recovery if Haney sues Greg for not completing the storage shed?

Final answer:

The measure of recovery in this case would be $500.

When Greg contracts to build a storage shed for Haney and only completes half the work before Haney has to pay Ipswich $500 to finish the shed, a legal issue arises. Haney could potentially sue Greg for breach of contract and seek compensation for the incomplete work.

If Haney decides to take legal action against Greg, he would likely be entitled to seek recovery of the $500 he had to pay Ipswich to finish the shed. This amount represents the cost Haney incurred due to Greg's failure to complete the work as agreed upon in the contract.

Therefore, in a lawsuit against Greg, the measure of recovery would be the $500 that Haney had to spend to have the storage shed completed by Ipswich. This amount would aim to restore Haney to the position he would have been in if Greg had fulfilled his contractual obligations and completed the shed.
