Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Princess Alicia can seek damages as a remedy for breach of contract since Renaldo failed to complete the agreed-upon work. Specific performance is unlikely because it involves personal services, and injunctions are not applicable here. Quantum meruit could apply if she had to pay for partial work done, but damages are the primary remedy for breach.
