The defendant breached its duty by failing to transmit the plaintiff's offer expeditiously and in the manner requested, causing the plaintiff to lose a real and appreciable chance of acquiring the flat; damages for loss of that chance are appropriate and assessed at HK$10,000 based on the reasonable value of the lost opportunity (approximated by the defendant's commission valuation).
