QUESTION 01
The custom furniture order
A restaurant owner emailed a furniture maker: “I’ll buy 20 custom oak tables for $18,000, delivery by August 1.” The maker replied, “Agreed. I’ll begin Monday.”
Before work began, the owner called to cancel. The maker refused, purchased the oak, and completed all 20 tables. The owner rejected delivery. The tables are engraved with the restaurant’s name and cannot readily be resold.
Discuss the parties’ rights and remedies.
