GINGER DISPUTE IS TEST CASE

WHO PAYS FOR LOSS?

A test case, the raling of which may have an important effect on the 'pro- served ginger business in the Colony, came beforo Mr. Justice J. J. Hayden at the Summary Court this morning when an action, claiming $835.66 as damages for brench of contract, was brought by the South China Manufar. turing:

and Exporting Company ugainst the Wing Loong firm nid Ma Yuen-hing. the managing partner

thereof.

M. M. A. da Silva appeared for the phunt company, and the defendants were represented by Mr. G. S. Hugh- Jones.

It was inted in the statement of claim that the plaintiffs, by three con- pur- tracts made in Angust, 1935, cbnsed 100 casks of cargo ginger, of ite- fair average quality, from the fendants. Subsxquently the plaintiffs, with the knowledge of the defendants, re-sold the goods to a firm in London, through Messrs. W. J. Ellis and Com. puny Later, claims of interior quali- ty were brought in respect of the goods and on arbitration in London awards were made against the plain- tills who now sought re-imbursement from the defendants as manufacturers of the ginger.

USAGE UNCHANGED

In March, 1928, when he was chairs man of the exports sub-committee of the Hongkong General Chamber of Commerce, tire Preserved Ginger Dealers Association presented a new proposal. The matter was discussed and circulars were sent to all export Arms dealing in ginger, asking for their opinion. They all refused to accept the new proposal and it was finally agreed to abide by the old trade usage. The basis of this usage was that any claim made by the coa- signees would be re-imbursed in full by the suppliers.

The reason why arbitration WEB taken at the port of destination was because ginger, badly preserved, was linble to deteriorate in quality on transit Bad preservallon was the fault of the manufacturers and there- fore they were to be held responsible for any claim...

In his experience, the manufactur. ers had never disputed payment of the claims. In some cases he and other exporters hnd contributed

money to the manufacturers for pay- ment of the claims, out of the profits of the transaction, in order to be fa voured by them in future dealings, It was a matter of grace and goodwill, and not custom
