As additional support for our view that the provision for liquidated damages is not controlling, reference might be made to 3 Williston on Contracts (Rev. ed. 1936), note 1, page 2222: “The provision for liquidated damages is also inoperative where the defendant’s willful breach is in wanton disregard of the plaintiff’s rights, but substantial or even punitive damages will be given.”
