David v. Baird

David v. Baird was a legal case where the court held that a buyer cannot recover damages for breach of contract if they received exactly what was promised, even if its value was less than expected. Essentially, the court ruled that once a contract’s terms are fulfilled, the buyer cannot claim damages for perceived loss in value, emphasizing that contractual rights are limited to what was explicitly agreed upon and delivered. This case highlights the importance of clear contractual terms and the limits on damages once contractual obligations are performed as agreed.
