Read the facts and the question and then choose the best answer. A, an online retailer, offers to pay B, a courier, $2 for each package of goods delivered by B to A's customers. B knows that the likely amount of work is impossible to predict but, for B, the contract is important because A is a well known, influential company. Within 24 hours of signing the contract, A tells B that he has decided to develop his own delivery services and won't need outside contractors at all. B is bitterly disappointed and upset. Can B sue A for damages to compensate for his disappointment and distress? |
