Vuylsteke

The court awarded Vuylsteke $74,012 ($72,000 for the annual salary and $2,012 for shipping costs to move to London). Broan appealed to a state intermediate appellate court, which affirmed the award. As to Broan's argument that Vuylsteke had not taken reasonable measures to mitigate her damages, the court stated that the "question of whether a plaintiff properly mitigated damages is a question of fact. * * * Here, there is evidence in the record to support the trial court's findings." The appellate court repeated the lower court's conclusion that "under the circumstances, it was not unreasonable * * * to choose * * *to move to London." The appellate court reiterated the lower court's findings that Vuylsteke "made reasonable efforts to mitigate and was unable to find employment" and that it was "reasonable not obtaining employment of [$]25,000 in the United States."
