Anyone remember this contracts case?

The case is pretty old I believe. The premise of the case was that the parties contracted for goods, Party A didn’t end up supplying the goods, Party B went out and bought the most expensive replacement they could find, then sued Party A for reimbursement. The Court held that Party A was only liable for the reasonable cost of replacing the product they failed to deliver. So it wasn’t specific performance, maybe indemnification?

Sounds kind of like Thorne v. White.

Sadly not. Perhaps medical or manufacturing equipment, but I really don't remember.

If you remember your textbook, you might be able to casebrief it in accordance with the damages section, but what difference does it make what case it is?

Sounds like covering in bad faith.

This sounds really familiar. I think we read this case but our professor didn't teach it. It's not in my notes, anyway.
