In that case, a contract was entered into between a seller & a buyer for supply of tapestries made according to certain specifications. The buyer informed the seller that he intended to sell the tapestries in Australia. The Australian Govt., however, prohibited the import of these goods except under certain conditions, resulting in the loss of the market to the buyer. At the request of the buyer, the contract was cancelled but the seller claimed damages for loss of profit. It was contended on behalf of the buyer that the foundation of the contract was that the goods should be re-sold in Australia.
