Respuesta :

Judgment for Dr. Stanley.

As we can see, Dr. Stanley offered Dr. Livingston a contract saying to open a clinic in exchange of $50,00. Dr. Livingston, in her part, did the right thing she can think of- suing Dr. Stanley. The other doctor refused to pay her as promised so all she can think about was to sue him. In fact, that would be a good decision as to what Dr. Stanley did. Dr. Livingston did not think of the conflict she would make, on the other hand, little did Dr. Stanley know that he also made a big fuss and a conflict between him and Dr. Livingston. So the judgement belongs to the doctor who was sued for a breach of contract.
