On an objective assessment of the parties' words and conduct the court finds that a firm oral price of $465 per tonne was offered by Turks' agent in early November 2008 and accepted by the plaintiffs, creating binding contracts for the 2008/09 season; that price was not subject to an unexpressed market‑adjustment reservation and Turks' unilateral reduction breached those contracts; the court also finds Turks agreed to purchase the specified additional areas (Waitatapia 292.9 ha; Green 30 ha).
