The action of Fairbnirn-Wright ami Co. v. Levin and Co., Ltd., (Merchants* Association), has been settled out of Court, defendants paying a substantial sum in full settlement. The action was tried before the Court of Appeal in April, 1914, to determine whether plaintiff's statement of claim was good in law. The Full Court unanimously decided that tbe plaintiffs had good cause of action against defendants on the ground of conspiracy amounting to illegal interference with FairbairnWright and Co.'s method of conducting business in connection with the purchase of sugar. Defendants obtained leave to appeal to the Privy Council, which has now been abandoned. The case, now that no appeal is to be talcen to the Privy Council, establishes t* law in New Zealand as follows: That any one who suffers damage from combination or injury amounting to a breach of the Commercial Trusts Act kas his remedy in a Court of Justice for damages to the extent of the loss he can prove. This is the first time.in the history of the Empire that the above proposition has been established in law. . ■•'."."
