Under common law, liquidated damages are enforceable as long as they:
  1. Are not punitive.
  2. Are only nominal.
  3. Are the same as incidental damages.
  4. Are statutory.
  5. Are also available under the UCC.
Explanation
Answer: A. Under common law, liquidated damages are enforceable as long as they are not punitive. Liquidated damages are meant to compensate the non-breaching party. Even where it was agreed upon by the contracting parties, a liquidated damages clause that was meant to punish the breaching party and has no relationship to the loss the non-breaching party suffered will not be enforced.
