1. This was a trial for assessment of damages. Besides the usual disputes over the quanta of the various heads of damages, a point of law was raised with regard to the applicability and application of the defence of tender before action in unliquidated claims. Arising for the first time in Hong Kong after the Civil Justice Reform (at least as can be ascertained from published judgments and decisions), this point merits some detailed consideration in this judgment.
