Rule
A non-breaching party has a duty to mitigate damages and cannot recover losses that could have been avoided by reasonable efforts; the burden is on the breaching party to show that the non-breaching party failed to mitigate.
Significance
Illustrates the avoidable consequences / mitigation of damages doctrine in contract law; the non-breaching party’s failure to take reasonable steps to minimize losses reduces recoverable damages.
