@Mowzer "if s/he considers the jury's award amount inequitable, unfair or inconsistent with the law." Where does contract law come in and what does it say about these scenarios? Would the judge consider such a verdict to be inconsistent with the law?

@WBT: My personal opinion is that in both scenarios the OP presents, there are no facts mentioned that would justify an award of damages less than the contract amount. But my read of the question is that the OP is asking more of a theoretical question of can the jury... (note the first word of the title is the word "Can") and less of a legal opinion about the facts. But I could be wrong.
