Shahida is a fashion designer of contemporary women's clothing. She recently purchased new premises located in the uptown shopping district. She decided to purchase some rare paintings to display in her shop in order to impress her clients. Shahida visited the local art gallery, Benjamin's Looking Glass, which is owned by Benjamin. She speaks to the sales assistant, Reegan, and informs him that she would like to purchase a painting by a local nineteenth century artist Hilda des Ste Croix. Reegan pointed to a picture which was labelled as being by Hilda des Ste Croix. Reegan then explained to Shahida that in his opinion this is a picture by the artist Hilda des Ste Croix. Unknown to Reegan, Benjamin had placed the wrong label on this painting. This was a painting by an apprentice of Hilda des Ste Croix. Reegan's statement impressed Shahida and she immediately purchased the painting for 20,000. Five years later, the painting is slightly damaged. Shahida takes it to an art specialist, Marsha, who informs Shahida that the painting is not by Hilda des Ste Croix, but by one of her apprentices, and only worth in the region of 2000. Marsha explains that the painting would have been worth 2500 if it had not been damaged. Explain to Shahida the possible legal action she may bring against Benjamin and any possible remedy that may be available
