In assessing contract legal remedies, are nominal damages permitted?

This means the court recognizes that something wrong happened, but the person didn't really suffer a big loss. So, the court gives a small amount of money (like $1) to say, "Yes, something wrong happened here." The purpose of this rule is to recognize that a wrong was done, even if there wasn't a big harm. It's applied when there's a breach of contract but no real damage. This rule exists to make sure that every broken promise in a contract is recognized by the law, even if it didn't cause a big problem.
