The court found the plaintiff's L/Cs were defective in tin coating weight and thus non-conforming, but the defendant, having set a 30 April deadline, then induced the plaintiff to wait without giving reasonable further notice and so could not validly reassert the original deadline; plaintiff was therefore entitled to accept defendant's repudiation and recover loss of profit and bank charges (assessed at US$30,000.00 and HK$10,409.17 respectively).
