APPEAL COURT.
BREACH OF SUB-CONTRACT. By Telegraph—Press Association. Wellington, Tuesday. The Appeal Court sat this morning to hear argument in the case of Pitcaithly and Co. v. McLean and Son, an appeal from the decision of Sir Robert Stout upon a special case arising out of claims by appellants for £20,000 damages for breach of sub-contract under which appellants undertook to supply gravel and sand to respondents for the Wellington dock contract. Sir Robert Stout held that under the sub-contract respondents were only bound to order what material they required for their purposes.
Appellants held this was not the correct interpretation, but that respondents had taken all the gravel and sand provided for in the specifications. Mr. Bell, K.C., Sir John Findlay, K.C., and Mr. D. Smith are acting for appellants, and Messrs. Morrison and Blair for respondents.
