I run a professional DJ service. I occasionally sub-contract other DJs to handle gigs when I am already booked and more than one booking comes in for a particular date. I recently sub-contracted a gig to a DJ for May 5th. She signed my contract agreeing to perform, and today (5 days) before the show she has backed out claiming that she got offered a full time gig at a nightclub. Now I'm stuck without someone to cover the event she contracted for. Can I sue her for breach of contract? If so, can I sue her for the amount of the contract plus damages? Or what is my recourse in a situation like this? Any advice would be greatly appreciated. I want to act in the best interest of my business, because I'm tired of people not honoring their word or my contract!
