The defence of illegality fails because the importation was not absolutely prohibited but permissible with written permission of a health officer; the contract allocated import risk and licence-obligation to the buyer under Incoterms and the contract, and the defendant's failure to obtain the licence was its own default, so the plaintiff is entitled to judgment on liability with damages to be assessed.
