Quizplus · Accepted Answer

When a court holds that there has been a failure to mitigate damages, it means that the plaintiff (Paine) did not take reasonable steps to minimize their losses after the defendant (Montesquieu) committed the tort. However, this does not necessarily mean that Paine is not entitled to any damages at all. Paine may still be awarded damages for losses that could not have reasonably been avoided or minimized, but the amount of damages awarded will be reduced to account for the failure to mitigate. Therefore, option B is the correct answer.
