Contract – Breach. The claimant mobile network and telecommunications distribution company brought a claim against the defendant, one of its former dealers, for specific and/or cumulative repudiatory breaches of contracts, alleging that the defendant's customer service had led them to having been obliged to terminate his dealership. The defendant counterclaimed for wrongful termination of the contracts. The Mercantile Court held that the claim succeeded on liability in respect of breach of contract and the counterclaim failed. All the contracts had been lawfully terminated. However, the claimant had proved no contractual loss or damage as had been claimed.
