'''Facts''': Plaintiff agreed to build a new bagging system for Defendant under a contract with a liquidated damages clause. Defendant breached, and Plaintiff wanted damages according to the liquidated damages clause. '''Issue''': Whether a modern court should refuse to enforce a penalty clause where the signatory is a substantial corporation, well able to avoid improvident commitments. '''Holding''': Held for Defendant. '''Reasons''': Although Plaintiff is entitled to damages, the liquidated damages clause is unreasonable in that it is disproportionate to the actual loss. '''Rule''': Damages = contract price - amount saved by non-shipment.
