Damages for non-delivery

(1)
Where the seller wrongfully neglects or refuses to deliver the goods to the
                buyer, the buyer may maintain an action against the seller for damages for
                non-delivery.
(2)
The measure of damages is the estimated loss directly and naturally resulting,
                in the ordinary course of events, from the seller’s breach of contract.
(3)
Where there is an available market for the goods in question, the measure of
                damages is prima facie to be ascertained by the difference between the contract
                price and the market or current price of the goods at the time or times when they
                ought to have been delivered, or, if no time was fixed for delivery, then at the
                time of the neglect or refusal to deliver.
