• concluding that damages 18 were speculative when the plaintiff simply provided estimates and made no effort to 19 quantify the amount of damages
• holding that a new trial was required due to inadequate 16 proof of damages on which the jury was instructed
• stating that “when it is possible to present accurate evidence on the amount of damages, the party upon whom the burden rests to prove damages must present such evidence”
• explaining that the doctrine of economic duress, which may be asserted by way of defense to an action to enforce a contractual agreement, is designed to discourage or prevent abuse of power in the bargaining process
• the trial court has “the exclusive province and responsibility” of telling the jury whether conduct is or is not “legal”
• for breach of contract, recovery allowed for consequential damages only if they were within contemplation of parties at time of contracting
