2. It is common ground, as apparent from the pleadings, that the Plaintiff and the Defendant had a contract ("the Contract") whereby the Defendant would supply exclusively to the Plaintiff with tobacco products at the lowest price for distribution in certain parts of China. The Plaintiff claims that in breach of the Contract the Defendant supplied World Trading Company tobacco products at even cheaper prices for sale in China. The Defence is essentially a factual denial.
