          The Madariagas owned a restaurant where they served “Albert’s Famous Mexican Hot Sauce.” They entered into a contract to sell the restaurant and the formula for the secret sauce to Morris.

          A manufacturer delivers a new tractor to Farmer Ted on the first day of the harvest season. But the tractor will not start. It takes two weeks for the right parts to be delivered and installed. The repair bill comes to $1,000. During the two weeks, some acres of Farmer Ted’s crops die. He argues in court that his lost profit on those acres is $60,000. The jury awards the full $1,000 for the tractor repairs, and $60,000 for the lost crops. Identify the two types of awards (an award is also known as an interest or remedy in this week’s material).

What could be done to clarify the language?
