The court found the plaintiff was the seller and that an implied warranty of fitness under S.16(1) arose because defendant made the purpose known, the goods were of a description the plaintiff supplied and reliance on plaintiff's skill could be inferred even though defendant selected the fabric; however the defendant failed to prove what a reasonable method of washing the fabric in Hong Kong would be and failed to prove the laundry used any such reasonable method, so liability under the implied warranty was not established and judgment entered for the plaintiff.
