Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Valerie has a duty to take reasonable steps to reduce the damages that she might otherwise suffer as a result of Windstar's breach of contract. This means that she should try to find alternative employment or seek damages from Windstar to cover her losses, but she cannot simply do nothing or breach the contract herself. She also does not have a duty to sue Windstar to deter others from similar acts, although she may choose to do so if she believes it is in her best interest.
