The Court found the key witnesses unreliable and there was insufficient credible evidence to establish either the Plaintiff's entitlement to repayment or the Defendant's entitlement to damages; further, although payments were prepayments, they fell within the principle that payments are irrecoverable where the payee had to incur expenses (procure fabrics) before performance, so neither party established a recoverable claim; both claim and counterclaim were dismissed.
