SHIMMON v WANG COMPUTER PTY LTD
SUPREME COURT OF NEW SOUTH WALES COURT OF APPEAL
MEAGHER, SHELLER and COLE JJA
6 September 1994, 6 September 1994
[1994] NSWCA 285
Meagher JA I will ask Mr Justice Cole to give the first judgment.
Cole JA This is an appeal from his Honour Judge McDevitt. Counsel for the
appellant very properly abandoned all grounds of appeal, save one. It was
contended that his Honour was in error in rejecting a submission that there was
an implied term which operated to prevent termination of the services of the
defendant without giving reasonable notice. The alleged implied term is the
contrary of an express term in what was agreed to be a written contract between
the parties.
Accordingly no such implied term could be implied. The result is that on that
point his Honour was correct.
The only other matter raised was the question of whether his Honour was
correct in relation to the calculation of interest. Some four years ago his Honour
indicated to the parties that if there was a mathematical mistake in his calculation
they should approach him and he would correct it. They failed to do so and
accordingly it is not appropriate for this Court to address that matter.
In my view the appeal should be dismissed with costs.
MEAGHER JA: I agree.
Sheller JA I also agree.
MEAGHER JA: The order of the Court therefore is that the appeal is dismissed
with costs.
Counsel for the Appellant: MS Wilmott
