Introduction

This report contains the proceedings during the set up of the agreement and the proceedings after the breach of contract between two parties: Trans Trust SPRL versus Danubian Trading co. The agreement was about the sales of 1,000 tons of rolled steel sheets which were supposed to deliver FOB in Antwerpen on 1950. Due to this agreement there got another party involved; the American company S.A.Azur, which was a wholesaler for the manufacturer, S.A. Metallurgique d’Esperance Londoz. Because of the contract, the seller ordered a sufficient amount of steel from this third party. Because of this the seller wanted to confirm this by the hand of a letter of Kredit Bank in Brussels, this was firstly agreed by the buyer. When eventually the buyer refused to do so, the seller sued the buyer on breach of contract.

Since the breach of the contract and the prosecution of the buyer, the case has been investigated by the English Court of Appeal. Throughout this, the court found out that there indeed was a breach of the agreement. The trial judge awarded the seller £3,214 damages, which was the loss of profit suffered by the seller.

We will discuss this case in six parts. In the main section of this report we will discuss the main arguments and reasoning of the parties in this Court Case. Then there is an explanation of reasoning, taken by the court which is an extension of how the court makes the decision and the different court decisions for this case. At the very end we will make links between these views.

Theory

When we want to understand the point of the case, we have to understand the agreement and the breach of the contract. This is almost totally based on the letter of Credit. This was required in the contract for the seller, the buyer agreed on this. So

The order of Certiorari was granted as the court considered a real estate sales contract as one that allows payment of earnest money. The court held that this was a provision of liquidated damages. The Court of Appeals held that such a provision in a contract of sale was a penalty and could not be enforced under Georgia laws. The court…

    The facts concerning the Teleflex Inc. v. I.M.P. Group Ltd case summary suggests that there was frustration involved in the contract between the two parties, however, monies should still have been payable to Teleflex Inc because the nature of the frustration was in fact self-induced. It was not anticipated by either party that the contract between I.M.P and the Brazilian government would fail to carry out. However, because both parties made provisions in the contract that suggested the possibility of suspension in the shipping of products and a termination clause was made readily available, it is safe to assume that both parties understood the risks that the contract may not be fulfilled. The acknowledgement and agreed-upon provisions made in the contract in relation to the risks involved, make claiming a failure to fulfill contractual duties on the basis of frustration inadmissible. Furthermore, because I.M.P Group and the Brazilian government never reached consensus and never signed any contracts, it could be deduced that I.M.P practiced poor judgement in securing a contract with Teleflex to receive aircraft products for a project that was still non-existent at the time. I.M.P could have prevented their frustration by either waiting until the agreement with the government was signed, or by including a provision in their agreement with Teleflex demanding work only be commenced upon I.M.P’s signing of the…

    The contract for sale which Macbeth had entered with Weetocrunch Ltd is a separate contract with that of the contract entered with the banks with regards to the documentary credits. For the purposes of this question, we are only dealing with the contract of the documents between Macbeth and the confirming bank, Noddy Bank. Noddy bank had been authorized in this case by the issuing bank, Toytown Bank to pay the beneficiary, also known as the seller, Macbeth for the goods he had shipped to Weetocrunch. It is only upon presentation by Macbeth of valid documents that complies with the terms and requirements stated in the Letter of credit that had been opened by Toytown Bank on behalf of Weetocrunch, that he can receive his payment. As it is the letter of credit acts as some form of safeguard for seller that he will receive his payment as once the bank opens the letter of credit, they are under a contractual obligation to pay the seller upon presentation of complying documents. In this case, it can be seen that the documents presented by Macbeth had been rejected twice by the bank, first on the grounds that the documents are not original and secondly where the description of the goods in the bill of lading differs. For that we refer to the body known as Uniform Customs and Practice for Documentary Credits (UCP) which governs the practice of documentary credit.…
