Both defendants breached their contractual obligations and were negligent in failing to ensure delivery to Dhaka; Hadley v. Baxendale second limb did not apply because defendants did not know of the specific downstream sales contracts, so lost profit claim failed; measure of damages is the invoice/cost value of the cotton yarn which became valueless (HK$185,685.24), less defendants' valid counterclaim (HK$13,355), producing a net judgment for the plaintiff of HK$172,330.24 plus interest.
