    On the evidence the Tudor machine was delivered by mistake and the Plaintiff had verbal (but not written) requests for its return; the parties failed to prove a specific agreed production performance standard and no expert evidence was adduced, so the defendant failed to prove non-conformity; accordingly the defendant must pay the outstanding $240,000 with interest and must return the mistakenly delivered Tudor machine, with the Plaintiff to bear the cost of its return.
