Right.

If someone has a contract with you to do work and they do some of the work AND you benefit from the work they do then you are required to pay them something. If you can't negotiate the amount of that something then they will sue you and a judge will decide how much of the original agreement they are entitled to.

You can't get out of paying someone if you have received some benefit merely because you claim that the work wasn't completed to your satisfaction. There would have to be more facts than that to just walk away from the contract without paying someone for work that they did actually complete...even if it wasn't finished, if you have received the benefit from the work they did complete.

The contract in this case has clearly broken down...nonetheless, the buyer has obviously received a good. He is not entitled to keep the good and all the money. The amount he owes might be half, less than half, or some other amount...but he owes something for the work he received and benefited from.

Sorry...you can't just not pay people who did work on your house merely because you decide to claim that the work wasn't completed to your satisfaction. It has to be more than just that to legally get off the contract without owing them a dime.
Are you claiming a painter who is contracted to paint a house can stop halfway through and be owed a portion of the money? Like an unjust enrichment claim? That might have merit, especially if the painter completely painted a portion of the home ie. the complete exterior, or the complete downstairs, leaving no section as can be reasonably divided only partially painted.

Defendant did get a complete earring. But, I'd argue that fulfillment of second hoop is actually worth twice as much as the first. Either of the drops will suffice for the first earring. But once Buyer get his first earring you've limited the Buyer's chances for completion as the earring Buyer still needs is effectively twice as rare.

Assuming equal drop rates, perhaps there is an unjust enrichment claim. I find for the petitioner in the amount of 6,666p, 6g, 6s, 6c.

Exactly. I also agree that the amount is owed is not necessarily half (and almost certainly much less than half). On principle of the law, however, the purchaser cannot keep the earring and pay absolutely nothing.

At the very least, I would argue that the seller is entitled to the time he spent to farm the first earring not to exceed the market value of one earring and not to exceed half the original contract price of two earrings. I'd suggest 5k pp is a reasonable price to settle the issue and let both parties move on.

If the seller wants his full payment he needs to provide the second earring...and even that is probably impossible considering how badly the relationship has soured at this point unless they both agree to it (including a time of delivery for the second ring).

my advice, counselor, settle for 5k pp and put it to bed.

What did hasbinbad do to you? He bought me an entire steam library of games and every god in smite years ago for no reason at all. Shocks me you call him the least pleasant. He had his moments but this sounds really personal
Pretty sure it was Hasbinbad, not entirely sure, we were friends at some point, but I remember doing crypt with him (or maybe it was someone else in TMO or IB or whatever guild it was at the time) and he reformed the group with guildies without me right on top of me or something like that when I was the one leading the group, just because the guildies wanted the camp.

So, someone (who you think might have been a friend) did something to you when you might have been leading a group? Or so you think, but you're not sure? Outrageous!

I feel like there's gotta be a rule 34 for court cases.
