CHARTERED BANK SUED
Damages Claimed For Alleged Negligence
The Chartered Bank of India, Australia and China were sued by J. M. Shashoua (Hongkong) Ltd., of Gloucester Building in an action before Mr Justice C. W. Recce in the Supreme Court this morning for £10,850 damages for alleged negli gence.
The plaintiffs claimed that the Bank made a full payment on a shipment of cotton from Persia before the goods arrived instead of withholding ten per cent which the plaintiffs instructed them to do to protect themselves against the goods being under quality.
Mr John Clifford, (instructed by Mr K. Lo), Counsel for the plaintiffs, declared that he had been to Persia, but had not been able to get a cent back. "It was a dead loss," he corcmented, to the amusement of the other Counsel and Court.
