S AND M CO S.A. v. GLENMORE SHIPPING INCORPORATED AND ANOTHER
Court

Court of First Instance
Case number

HCCL106/1989

On the balance of probabilities the Court preferred the evidence of Mr Lau supported by contemporaneous documents and found Mr Niu unreliable; there was no binding guarantee by Seabridge of Glenmore's obligations and therefore the plaintiffs' main claim based on that guarantee fails.

JOINTING CONSTRUCTION LTD v. HIGHFIELD SEA LAND DEVELOPMENT LTD AND OTHERS

Citation

JOINTING CONSTRUCTION LTD v. HIGHFIELD SEA LAND DEVELOPMENT LTD AND OTHERS
Court

Court of First Instance
Case number

HCA1129/1977

There was no communicated acceptance by the plaintiff of any offer such as would create a contract of hire with the owners; the existing contracts between the owners and Tang governed until their expiry on 7/5/77; any novation substituting the plaintiff for Tang would have required Tang's consent which was absent; therefore defendants were entitled to repossess the vessels on 8/5/77.
