Negligence: Property Damage-Lost Sale-Damages
Staff Report//June 24, 2019//
Listen to this articleWhere homeowners brought an action against an electric cooperation for the alleged negligent installation of a transformer, claiming damages from a lost sale of their property after the buyers backed out, the judgment is affirmed because the owners did not show that the trial court misapplied the law in limiting the damages to the cost of repair, and the owners also failed to establish that they were entitled to the benefit of the bargain of the sale contract as consequential damages.
Judgment is affirmed.
