Betty refuses to pay James and hires another builder, who completes the repairs for $5,000. The building’s value to Betty has increased by $10,000 as a result of the repairs by James, but Betty has lost $500 in rents because of the delay caused by James’s breach. James sues Betty. How much, if any, may James recover in restitution from Betty?
