Why it's wrong

14511_worship_studio_delay · CONTRACTS · Choice C$1,000 (the fair rental value of the barn for 15 days), plus $1,000 (the cost of the mobile recording trailer for 15 days).

Why it's wrong

14511_worship_studio_delay · CONTRACTS · Choice DNothing, because by paying the purchase price on April 30, Paul waived whatever cause of action he may have had.

Why it's wrong
