He laid emphasis on the submis- sion that the Banque Industrielle de Chine had agreed to be ready and willing for the whole of the period of the contract (July, 1921) to do their part and it was a use- less formality for the defendant (Tuen Kee Hing) to go to the bank and ask for a telegram to be sent to London after the door had been closed.
Serious Undertaking A Mr. Potter also dealt with the question of the Banque's door being re-opened on July 1, 1921 (after being closed on July 2), pointing out that such did not alter the fact that the bank had broken the con- tract by closing its door. A con- tract was a serious undertaking, he said, and if such an undertaking was wiped out, then there was no value in exchange contracts.
