Damages for Breach of Purchase Contract Are Measured by the Difference Between the Purchase Price and the Market Value at Time of Breach

In a lengthy opinion by Judge Read, the Court of Appeals determined that, where a purchase contract for real property has been breached, the measure of damages is the difference between the sale price and the market value of the property at the time of the breach.  The price at which the property subsequently sells can be taken into consideration when determining what the value was at the time of the breach, but it is not the measure of damages.  White v Farrell, et al, No. 43, CtApp, 3-21-13
