False

Explanation:

The reason is clear, that is the breach of the contract hasn't caused any harm to the medical group, because after the resignation of Dr. Wilson, Medical Group didn't had replaced Dr. Wilson with another Orthopedic Surgeon. As a result, the practicing of Dr. Wilson hasn't caused any financial loss to Medical Group. So the court will rule in the favor of Dr. Wilson.
