I'm not saying they had a valid case. I'm just saying that IF they had a valid case, the idea of a potential remedy still exists. You do bring up a good point: when there aren't any specific damages on a legal theory that is a suit on law (as opposed to a suit in equity), then the lack of damages itself COULD be a bar to recovery.

This was an interesting course in law school. The prof started out the course by saying, "OK, counselor, you won your case at trial. Now what?" We went through legal cases where the Plaintiff was awarded nominal damages (think $1). The prof would then say, "and a third of that is yours!"



Hell, no we won't go.
