Pip owns Great Expectations, a restaurant in West Hollywood. Pip enters a contract
with Estella, a meat supplier. Estella gives Pip a form supply contract to sign which
contains an arbitration clause. The clause states that "Miss Havisham will serve as an
arbitrator for any dispute arising from this contract." Pip does not know that Miss

favor of Estella, Pip discovered her relationship to Estella. Which of the following
statements is most accurate?

Randi had her brakes fixed by Independent Car Repair. Randi paid $400 for the repair,
but immediately noticed that the brakes were not functioning. She continued to drive

brakes. It owes Randi a refund of $400 for that breach. A court would probably find
that it did not owe Randi the $12,000 since Randi had a duty to mitigate her
contractual damages by reducing the risk of further damage; i.e.returning the car for
repair
