| Nov 3, 2015 at 4:00 | comment | added | Alexanne Senger | Okay. I understand. That makes sense. But another problem I have with your question are the phrases: "change the price" and "change the terms of the contract". The short answer is "No. Juries can't change contract terms." But that's not necessarily what's happening if the jury awards damages less than the amount of the contract. The contract is just one input into the damages decision and your question scenarios seem to presuppose only one interpretation of the facts as it relates to damages. i.e. Damages equals contract price. But that's not always true. | |
| Nov 3, 2015 at 3:11 | comment | added | WBT | @Mowzer not quite; that wording would indicate a question that's more about excessive verdicts. This one is wondering how much flexibility the jury has in changing the terms of a contract once one party has already fulfilled all its obligations under the contractual assumption that the other party will (or will be obligated) to do their part as well. Rather than get into details of complicated terms, I picked a very simple one which is easy to relate to and where an award of money damages is the most appropriate form of relief. | |
