On the evidence the contracts of carriage were between Davco and the defendant, not the plaintiff; the FCRs were receipts not documents of title or carriage contracts; property in the goods passed to Davco on shipment (per Sale of Goods Ordinance ss19/20 Rule 5(2)); accordingly defendant owed no contractual or bailment duty to plaintiff and did not breach or convert the goods, so plaintiff's claim fails.
