Lana agrees to work as Michelle's personal assistant for one year at a salary of $24,000. But Lana dies in the

ninth month of the contract. Michelle hires a replacement who charges $30,000 to do the same job. Michelle

sues Lana's parents, who control the estate that Lana left behind, to recover the additional money she ended up

having to pay as a result of Lana's death. Discuss whether you think a court will require Lana's estate to pay

damages to Michelle. Why or why not?
