NOT ASSIGNABLE
LAMP-SHADES CONTRACT DAMAGES CLAIM FAILS Holding that the mutual confidence necessary between manufacturer and distributor was a personal matter, and that a contract in existence between the parties was not assignable, Mr. Justice Smith gave judgment in the Supreme Court yesterday for Beal Pritchett (N.Z.), Ltd., in liquidation, on a claim for £1,186 damages brought against them for breach of a £ 5,000 contract to purchase silk lamp-shades. This was his Honour’s decision on the claim by E. H. Little, the present proprietor of the Auckland Lamp-shade Company, who acquired the business and existing contracts from E. Tolley in August, 1927. A considered judgment is to be given by the Judge on the right of Tolley, who was joined as a plaintiff in the action, to recover damages. The point his Honour will determine is whether Tolley is not completely barred by reason of his failure to obtain leave of court to sue.
