A Pak Plastics Pty Ltd v Merhone Pty Ltd

A Pak Plastics Pty Ltd (the appellant) appealed to the New South Wales Court of Appeal against a decision of the Supreme Court of New South Wales. The dispute concerned the appellant's entitlement to recover damages for breach of contract from the respondent.

The primary legal issue before the Court of Appeal was whether the appellant had suffered loss or damage as a result of the respondent's alleged breach of contract. Specifically, the court had to determine if the appellant had established a causal link between the respondent's actions and any quantifiable loss.

The Court of Appeal found that the appellant had failed to demonstrate that it had suffered any loss or damage. The court reasoned that while a breach of contract had occurred, the appellant had not provided sufficient evidence to establish that this breach had caused it any financial detriment. Consequently, the appellant was not entitled to recover damages. The appeal was dismissed.
