Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Nominal damages are awarded to establish, as a matter of principle, that the defendant acted wrongfully or breached the contract. They are usually a small sum of money, such as $1, and are not meant to compensate the plaintiff for any actual loss or damage. In this case, the Centre would be awarded nominal damages to show that Local Motion Fitness Club breached the contract and acted wrongfully by not providing the agreed-upon service.
