Re: Job

I agree with both answers. Whether you are entitled to any damages depends upon whether you sustained any damages and can prove them in court. You didn't get any pay, but on the other hand you didn't perform any services, so that part of the deal is a wash. You might get damages for moving expenses, and possibly other costs you incurred in reliance on the job offer, but it is not a suit that is likely to produce more in damages than it would cost to file and prosecute.
