The court rejected the claimant's claim for consequential profits as too remote and speculative and not in the parties' contemplation or established by evidence; instead damages were measured at the date of breach (20 November 1978) by reference to the market substitute (used ship plates adjusted 5%), producing a net award of US$169,495.01 (HK$813,576.04) with interest and costs.
