"Mr. Payne, is extremely an- xious." continued counsel, "to bring the case on for trial, for the reason that the whole of his position for the future depends on the elucidation of the rights of the parties in regard to this con- tract."
It was e contract made last September for the exclusive ser- vices of his dance band, and it was a term of the contract that a new
Was company to be formed, of which he was to be managing director at a salary of £8,000 a
year.
An estimate was made," "pro- ceeded counsel, as to the income of the company, showing it to be at the rate of about £80,000 a year, of which Mr. Payne would have taken £20,000.
"That was a substantial piece of business, and Mr. Payne na- turally made no attempt to keep up with his other sources of en- sagements for the three months in which he was attempting to work this contract.
"Defendants never formed that company and the contract became utterly unworkable. In those clr- cumstances Mr. Payne is naturally very anxious to secure his future
and to know where he is. and in particular to know when he must
come to court to have this matter tried."
His Lordship. in refusing the application, said there would be no costs to either side.
