    Court
    District Court
    Case number
    DCCJ3959/2014

    Defendants failed to prove that a contractual obligation to supply original mill certificates existed because (1) the evidence did not establish delivery to plaintiff of drawings or documents that would incorporate GSB 2007 or its section 15 into the quotations; (2) there was no reliable evidence of an oral agreement by a person authorised to bind plaintiff; and (3) terms requiring MCs or conditioning final payment on MCs were not necessary to give business efficacy and could not be implied under the BP Refinery tests. Accordingly plaintiff was entitled to judgment for the unpaid invoices.
