Answer:
D. Punish QuikBilt and deter others from similar acts
Explanation:
Punitive Damages, often used in a law of tort, when the jury considered the acts of the tortfeasor or defendant to be either intentional, malicious, fraudulent, or violent in nature, and it is designed to do the following:
1. punish a defendant or tortfeasor and
2. discourage further such acts by the defendant or tortfeasor and others.
Therefore, in this case, if QuikBilt fails to meet the agreed standard, which is construed as a breach of contract and a breach of a duty of care, Pure might be awarded punitive damages to punish QuikBilt and deter others from similar acts. Because such acts is deemed malicious, fraudulent and intentional.
