1920. Buyer’s Damages for Purchase or Acquisition of

Property

If you decide that [name of plaintiff] has proved [his/her/its] claim

against [name of defendant], you also must decide how much money

will reasonably compensate [name of plaintiff] for the harm. This

compensation is called "damages."

[Name of plaintiff] must prove the amount of [his/her/its] damages.

However, [name of plaintiff] does not have to prove the exact

amount of damages that will provide reasonable compensation for

the harm. You must not speculate or guess in awarding damages.

The following are the specific items of damages claimed by [name

of plaintiff]:

1. The difference between [the amount that [name of plaintiff]

paid] [or] [the fair market value of what [name of plaintiff]

exchanged for the property] and the fair market value of

the property at the time of sale;

2. Amounts that [name of plaintiff] reasonably spent in reliance

on [name of defendant]’s [false representation/failure to

disclose/promise] if those amounts would not otherwise

have been spent in the purchase or acquisition of the

property; [and]

3. [Insert additional harm arising from the transaction] to the

extent that [name of defendant]’s [false representation/failure

to disclose/promise] was a substantial factor in causing that

[insert additional harm arising from the transaction]; [and]

4. [Lost profits [or other gains].]
