Case Synopsis

The District Court did not err by dismissing Yount's claims for contractual damages. The Court held that Yount failed to prove damages because he received a benefit that was not functionally different than the benefit he sought. But because Yount did not provide express or implied consent to introduce post-pleading counterclaims, the district court abused its discretion when it awarded damages for those claims sua sponte.
