FACTS
This was a hearing in which the GSA as Plaintiff were contesting the court’s provisional view, expressed in an earlier judgment, that it was entitled only to nominal damages only in respect of the Siebe’s repudiation of the distributorship contract.

Was there a term in the distributorship contract requiring the parties to negotiate a price in good faith?
