The appellant appealed the trial judge's assessment of damages for breach of contract regarding the improper backgrounding of cattle.
The Court of Appeal allowed the appeal, finding the trial judge erred in law, and reduced the respondents' damages based on a seven cents per pound sale price differential between 'green' and 'burnt' cattle.
The respondents' cross-appeal regarding the trial judge's 30% discount on the appellant's claim for unpaid invoices was dismissed.
