The court found the invoice was the operative written contract and rejected the alleged oral agreements as not proved; the term '自來' in the invoice was properly interpreted to mean parts to be supplied by the Plaintiff, and reasonable time for performance was suspended until those Plaintiff‑provided parts and contractual payments were furnished; Plaintiff therefore wrongfully terminated the contract and was not entitled to refund of the deposit; Defendant proved costs to complete and was awarded the net balance HK$598,000 plus interest and costs.
