Section 7-5-111 Remedies. (a) If an issuer wrongfully dishonors or repudiates its obligation
to pay money under a letter of credit before presentation, the beneficiary, successor, or
nominated person presenting on its own behalf may recover from the issuer the amount that
is the subject of the dishonor or repudiation. If the issuer's obligation under the letter

at the claimant's election, recover an amount equal to the value of performance from the issuer.
In either case, the claimant may also recover incidental but not consequential damages. The
claimant is not obligated to take action to avoid damages that might be due from the issuer
under this subsection. If, although not obligated to do so, the claimant avoids damages, the
claimant's recovery from the issuer must be reduced by the amount of damages avoided. The
issuer has the burden of proving the amount of damages avoided. In the case of...
