1. This is an appeal by the Defendant against summary judgment given under Order 14 by Mayo, J., in favour of the Plaintiff. The facts, so far as it is necessary to state them, are that about the year 1956 one Tong Tik Sang ("Tong") was engaged by the Sin Fung Ming Opera Group to write a script for the Cantonese opera "Tai Lui Fa". He did so under an oral agreement. The opera was first performed that same year, 1956. It was a considerable success.
