Judgment
The Unfinished Market Signs
1. Having heard the parties’ testimony and considered the relevant evidence, the Court finds the defendant liable for the damages. The defendant shall pay the plaintiff the $1,200 initial deposit and reimburse her $300 for the additional stands she was required to purchase.
2. The plaintiff did not waive any rights concerning the stand by acknowledging the late delivery. The defendant unreasonably reached that conclusion independently.
3. The defendant promised delivery on Friday, May 2, but did not complete delivery until May 3, thereby breaking that promise. Although messages were admitted in which the plaintiff stated that the late delivery was acceptable, she stated that it would be acceptable if the signs were ready for display. They were not.
