Practice question
An owner promptly hires competent help to limit damage using a reasonable available method, but an unavoidable continuation still causes loss. Is failure of the effort alone conclusive proof of nonmitigation?
- Yes, only perfect results count
- Only the defendant may decide
- No, diligence is assessed from reasonable conduct in the circumstances, not success alone
- Every expense is necessarily unrecoverable
- The owner must try infinitely many measures
