THE ZINC CONTRACTS.
LONDON, Bth December. The Court of Appeal, differing from , Mr. Justice Sargent's judgment ia ille
Zinc Corporation case, decided that an action did not lie, because Hirscb. aad Sohn were not represented. [The Zinc Corporation sought a, decision as to whether it« contract to sell the whole of its output to the German firm of Aaron Hirsch and Sohn until 1919 was voided by the war or merely suspended. Mr. Justice Sargent held that the case was covered by the clause suspending the contract during the continuance of events beyond the control of the vendors or buyers, and which prevented or delayed the carrying out of the agreement. He granted an injunction restraining the directors from aciin'g on the assumption that the contract had terminated, and added that it was undoubtedly a. case that should go to the highest tribunal.)
