First Principles of Business Law

Question 17

X, the owner of a dry-cleaning business, tells B that he needs to upgrade his cleaning equipment because C has offered to buy his business if an end-of-month review is positive.  X orders a new dry-cleaning machine from B, who undertakes to deliver and install it.  When installed the machine functions badly and it takes B an extra six working days to find and fix the faults.  During this time X's normal business operations are disrupted, causing many customer complaints.  When C reviews X's business and discovers these problems, he decides not to proceed with the purchase of X's business.  X sues B for breach of contract (a breach which B admits), claiming damages to compensate for the lost profit he would have made if C had bought the business.  On which of the following cases could X could rely to assert that damages are not an adequate remedy for breach of contract in these circumstances?
