Decided:

Before VAUGHN, TRAYNOR, and MONTGOMERY-REEVES Justices. 
ORDER 
This 7th day of January, 2021, after careful consideration of the parties’ briefs 
and the record on appeal, it appears to the Court that the judgment of the Superior 
Court should be affirmed on the basis of and for the reasons stated in its February 6, 
2020 bench ruling.  We are satisfied that the Superior Court’s findings regarding the 
parties’ intentions under a compensation arrangement evidenced by an ambiguous 
e-mail exchange are supported by the record and were the product of an orderly and 
logical reasoning process.  In addition, we agree with the Superior Court’s 
conclusion that, even if the appellant’s understanding of the arrangement were 
correct, the appellant did not prove her damages to a reasonable certainty.

NOW, THEREFORE, IT IS ORDERED that the Superior Court’s judgment is 
AFFIRMED.
