- HCCL172/1994
The court held the Defendant had assumed responsibility to keep the materials and goods for the Plaintiff but was only obliged to make them available for collection and not to provide the inventory details or to deliver; the alleged promise of 31 March 1994 lacked consideration and was not a binding contract; consequential loss claimed (US$71,333.32) was too remote because no replacement order was in contemplation when the original order was cancelled; Plaintiff proved missing and defective items and was entitled to HK$65,944.74; Defendant failed to prove its counterclaim for storage charges.
