Inc. v. Boutique Elfe Inc. (1991) 43 C.P.R. (3d) 416 (Canada: Court of
Quebec):
Facts: A firm asked an artist to copy a Christmas card titled “Un Noël de Rêv
e” that the firm’s manager bought from a retail store. The firm had 1,300 of
the copied cards printed for $C 165 and sent them out for New Year to its
customers. The plaintiff claimed the full retail price of 1300 cards as damages,
over $C 2,000. The defendant offered $C 500, being what the plaintiff had
charged a third party for a licence to reproduce, for publicity purposes, another
similar card (“Toutes voiles au vent”) by the same artist.
How could the damages be assessed in this case?
