“It was a tacit term of the contract that the defendant (Institute of Health Management Southern Africa) would remunerate the plaintiff (Emmanuel Medicals) for the goods sold and delivered at the plaintiff’s usual customary rate,” submitted Emmanuel Medicals.

Agreement

The outstanding balance was the amount of E106 346.90 which was the cost price of securing the order.
