Key Principle

In a dispute over a coal sale contract the Court of Appeal addressed breach of contract, the tort of unlawful means conspiracy founded on fraud, and the consequences of a party's reliance on a forged/fraudulent document, holding that fraudulent conduct in the performance of a contract bears on damages and on the conspiracy claim; the case is NOT authority on frustration or force majeure.
