SUPPLIER CLAIMS BONUS
-DAIRY COMPANY’S LIABILITY. CASE BEFORE THE APPEAL COURT. By Telegraph—Press Association. Wellington, Last Night. The Appeal Court to-day heard the ease Kerr v. the Avon Dairy Company, Limited, in liquidation. The appeal is from the judgment of the late Mr. Justice Alpers in a test ease. Kerr claimed from the company £25 6s lOd, the amount of a balance due to him on butter-fat sold to the company, or, alternatively, the balance of the total price due to him for butter-fat sold in London by the company as his agent. Amounts claimed by various suppliers aggregated about £3OOO. The company had gone into liquidation and decided not to pay any bonus. Appellant claimed he was entitled to a bonus equal to the best paid by other companies in the district, but was nonsuited, although the judge held that suppliers were tricked by an advertisement into sending their butter-fat to the company. Decision was reserved.
