Suggested Answer: D

'restitution damages cannot be mitigated by the actions of the innocent party' is the untrue state-ment out of these four. The general principle of Restitution Damages is that the innocent party is expected to be proactive in mitigating the consequences of any breach and should not allow costs to spiral out of control.

I agree with Bettina, the rationale behind B makes sense in the context of restitution damages.

I think B) restitution damages may leave the breaching party in a worse position than they were in before the contract began is the correct answer.

Restitution damages, huh? Sounds like the breaching party is really getting 'restituted' - if that's Chanan a word.

Wait, we're supposed to choose the statement that's not true? Talk about a trick question! I'll go with A just to be safe.

Hmm, I'm torn between B and C. Though I suppose if the breaching party ends up worse off, that's kind of the point of restitution.

I'm going with D. Restitution is supposed to put the breaching party back where they started, so mitigating actions shouldn't matter.

C looks like the correct answer to me. Restitution is all about the breaching party's gains, not the innocent party's losses.

Option A seems a bit off. Restitution damages definitely allow for future loss claims, otherwise what's the point?
