Applied in 1 court decision — leading case Royster-Clark, Inc. v. Olsen's Mill, Inc. (2006)

Most recently applied in Royster-Clark, Inc. v. Olsen's Mill, Inc. (May 2006)

(1) Subject to sub.

(2) and to s. 402.723 with respect to proof of market price the measure of damages for nonacceptance or repudiation by the buyer is the difference between the market price at the time and place for tender and the unpaid contract price together with any incidental damages provided in s. 402.710, but less expenses saved in consequence of the buyer’s breach.

(2) If the measure of damages provided in sub.

(1) is inadequate to put the seller in as good a position as performance would have done then the measure of damages is the profit (including reasonable overhead) which the seller would have made from full performance by the buyer, together with any incidental damages provided in s. 402.710, due allowance for costs reasonably incurred and due credit for payments or proceeds of resale.
