On the facts the court found that the PT Group (PTE and PTI) instructed the plaintiff and a binding oral contract arose (joint liability), alternatively the parties' course of dealing and acceptance of services gave rise to restitution liability (quantum meruit); the appointment was not conditional on Chinese provincial approval; quantum for partial services was assessed on the adopted HKIA stages and evidence of completion, resulting in judgment for plaintiff assessed at HKD 559,430 plus interest at 13.75% from 16 November 1980.
