Court of First Instance

The court accepted the Plaintiff's uncontradicted evidence of delivery, inspection and acceptance and found no adequate pleaded particulars or probative evidence that the goods were damaged or unmerchantable; the court also accepted that payments received corresponded to invoices 012–014 and that, after applying the credit balance, US$134,496.49 remained due; judgment was therefore entered for the Plaintiff with an order nisi for interest at P+1% from the writ date and costs to the Plaintiff on a nisi basis.
