Barnett · Answer 1

Yes, Davis is able to hold Erica liable for the damages he is being sued for

Explanation:

The vital factor to be considered here is that there was a "signed contract" which directly gives Davis the right to hold Erica liable for damages. Erica failed to keep to her own end of the deal and Davis took it upon himself to actualize the terms of the contract. Erica is to settle Davis immediately or be ready to appear in court.
