Tour Costa Rica v. County Walkers, Inc.

CW (defendant) orally committed TCR (plaintiff), a small new company, to a two-year exclusivity arrangement to design, arrange, and lead Costa Rica tours, and TCR relied by developing specialized tours and forgoing other clients before CW abruptly cancelled all future tours mid-development, forcing TCR to cancel already-arranged tours and lose the entire 1995 tourist season; a jury awarded TCR $22,520 based on anticipated lost profits.
