Remedies.

Arthur Rabe is suing Xavier Sanchez for breaching a contract in which Sanchez promised to sell Rabe a Van Gogh painting for $150,000.

1. In this lawsuit, who is the plaintiff, and who is the defendant?

2. If Rabe wants Sanchez to perform the contract as promised, what remedy should Rabe seek?

4. Will the remedy Rabe seeks in either situation be a remedy at law or a remedy in equity?

5. Suppose that the court finds in Rabe’s favor and grants one of these remedies. Sanchez then appeals the decision to a higher court. Read through the subsection entitled “Parties to Lawsuits” in the appendix following this chapter. On appeal, which party in the Rabe-Sanchez case will be the appellant (or petitioner), and which party will be the appellee (or respondent)? 1–3
