N.C.P.I.—Civil 503.76
CONTRACTS - ISSUE OF COMMON LAW REMEDY - FUTURE WORTH OF DAMAGES IN PRESENT VALUE.
Any amount you allow as future damages for breach of contract
must be reduced to its present value, because a smaller sum received
now is equal to a larger sum received in the future.2
(Notwithstanding, there is evidence before you that the
calculation(s) of the plaintiff's future damages [has] [have] already been
reduced to [its] [their] present value(s). Whether [it] [they] [has] [have]
in fact been so reduced is for you to determine from the evidence using
logic and common sense. Therefore, if you find that any type of future
damage has already been reduced to its present value, you must not
reduce it again.)
