    Court
    Court of First Instance
    Case number
    HCA9974/1997

    Defendant failed to prove the alleged trade usage that licences were only usable after computer transmission. However, on the facts (urgency, plaintiff paid a premium, defendant knew urgency) an implied term existed that the three licences sold had to be immediately usable upon presentation to US customs; defendant therefore liable for cost of licences and consequential damages.
