- HCCL234/1997
Kong Hing (plaintiff's agent) authorised delivery to Excel such that a bailment on terms arose; Best Trend was an independent sub-bailee acting on Excel's instructions and its retention pending resolution of cargo/lien issues was reasonable; plaintiff failed to prove unconditional refusal and failed to establish causative loss and quantum; therefore detinue/conversion claims against the 2nd and 3rd defendants fail and are dismissed.
