A) establish, as a matter of principle, that Cineplex acted wrongfully.
B) provide Bagels with funds for a foreseeable loss beyond the contract.
C) provide Bagels with funds for its loss of the bargain.
D) punish Cineplex and set an example to deter others from similar acts.

Nominal Damages

A small monetary award (often one dollar) granted to a plaintiff when no actual damage was suffered or when the plaintiff is unable to show such loss with sufficient certainty.

Loss of the Bargain

The difference between the value of what was promised in a contract and what was actually delivered, potentially leading to damages in a breach of contract case.

Acted Wrongfully

Engaging in actions that are illegal, unethical, or contrary to established norms, often resulting in harm or disadvantage to others.

Final Answer :
A
Explanation :
Nominal damages are awarded to recognize that a party has suffered a legal wrong, even if no actual financial loss has occurred. In this case, since Bagels Bakery found a better deal with DigiMovies, they did not suffer a financial loss but may still be awarded nominal damages to establish that Cineplex breached the contract.
