Federal 7th Circuit Court
Civil Court
Breach of Contract
Plaintiff filed a lawsuit alleging that the defendant breached a lease agreement by damaging a boiler leased from the plaintiff. The jury returned a verdict for the defendant and responded that while defendant had breached, the plaintiff failed to show that it sustained any damages. The district court denied plaintiff’s motion for a new trial and plaintiff appealed. The Seventh Circuit affirmed, finding no error in the jury’s verdict. (EASTERBROOK and KOLAR, concurring)
