This episode was a great refresher on the often-overlooked nuances of contract remedies beyond expectation damages. I really appreciated the clear breakdown of incidental, reliance, and restitution damages—especially how the hypotheticals helped bring each concept to life. The practical examples made it easier to see how these doctrines play out in real-world scenarios. Perfect timing for exam prep—thanks for another helpful and engaging episode!
