Of Contracts
Six paper firms sued the United Development Co. Ltd., of Hong- kong and Shanghat Bank Building in the Supreme Court before Mr Justice Gould this morning for breach of contracts in respect of a total of 1,500 long tons of newsprint which were to have arrived by three ships in May, June and July, 1950. The contract prices for the newsprint totalled $854,506,56.
The plaintiffs claimed that the defendant firm failed to deliver any of the goods in the contracts and that they repudiated their liability and refused to perform the contracts causing plaintiffs to suffer heavy losses' in each case. They asked for the difference between the contract prices and the market price at the date of repudiation as damages.
