Philosophically this is an interesting question, realistically it breaks down to the fact that the money will change hands on the whim of the pupil. The contract is an actionable item but even if the teacher wins the case the pupil could still default leaving the teacher with no recourse. Of course he could file a claim with the Better Business Bureau that could harm the reputation of the pupil thereby putting pressure on him to pay up, but most clients would probably not go the BBB so it really wouldn't cost the pupil anything. It is all dependent on the laws of the state and the will of the courts.

PS If this case were argued in front of Judge Judy the teacher would win and get nothing from the settlement but both people would be paid for their appearance on TV.
