Luke goes to pick Laura around 4:48 p.m. up on game day and finds no one at home. Too embarrassed to attend the restaurant and game by himself, he goes home. Worried that something may have happened to Laura, he tries to reach her by telephone. The following day, he contacts her and she informs him that she changed her mind; she did not want to go to the game with him because it looked like it was going to rain and she had made plans with another "friend." Also, she did not feel it was necessary to call. Luke becomes very emotionally upset over the rejection. Two days later, he files a lawsuit against Laura for $225 in damages for the two unused tickets to the game and the cost of a reasonable dinner for two and $500 in damages for his emotional trauma.
How would the case be decided? Were there any ethical violations?
