The contract was a contract for sale of goods (future goods) notwithstanding the inclusion of installation and services; therefore damages for non‑acceptance are assessed under section 52 of the Sale of Goods Ordinance and, because there was no available market, the seller's loss is the contract price less the value of the goods to the seller (scrap) plus recoverable consequential storage charges, yielding an award of HKD 584,060.80 with interest and costs ordered.
