Weaving loss
  • 5 May 2010

    KEYMARK TEXTILES LTD v. MANWAY TEXTILES CO LTD

    Citation
    KEYMARK TEXTILES LTD v. MANWAY TEXTILES CO LTD
    Court
    Court of First Instance
    Case number
    HCA1610/2007

    No express term was proved by either party as to application of the 12% maximum weaving loss. However, an implied term was necessary and obvious to give business efficacy: the 12% maximum weaving loss is to be applied and calculated by reference to each individual sizing batch. On that basis Keymark proved a shortfall of 176,095.45 yards and damages of HK$801,041.73. Manway proved the 14th invoice for HK$408,000. After set-off Keymark owed Manway HK$342,563.59; interest and costs orders follow.
