Breach of a contract to sell an earth excavator was alleged by Cuibitt Wells, Ltd., of Wellington (Mr R. S. D. Twyneham) against Edmond and Son, of Christchurch (Mr J. B. Williams) in a claim for £489 6s damages. The Magistrate gave judgment for the defendant, with costs. Ross W. Davies, an engineer, said he was sent to Christchurch by Cubitt Wells, Ltd., in July, 1962. to look at an excavator owned by Edmond and Son. He told Adam Edmond, the manager of Ed-

mond and Son, that he would buy the excavator subject to approval by his employer. Edmond agreed to selL When approval was given, Edmond refused to sell. The claim was for Loss of usage, the difference between the cost of Edmond's machine and a new one, and the cost of the trip, Davies said. Adam Edmond said he did not think anything final had been arranged with Davies. The Magistrate held that the plaintiff had failed to prove that a contract had been made. £174 DAMAGES A soldier who failed to give way and collided with another car in Moorhouse avenue in May, 1962, was ordered to pay £174 Ils 6d and costs in a civil claim. The plaintiff was Leo Michael Keating, a physiotherapist (Mr G. F. Rea) and the defendant was Leslie Thomas Jaimes Cogger (Mr W. A. Wilson). Mr Rea said the damages sought were for repairs to Keating’s car, and the cost of a rental car used by Keating while his car was being fixed. Mr Wilson said that Cogger admitted flailing to give way. He disputed the amount because as a qualified panelbeater he could have fixed the car himself. His offer to do so was not accepted. The Magistrate said he could not accept that damages should be minimised because Cogger could have done the repairs cheaper and quicker. Keating was entitled to refuse this offer. CIVIL CASES
