Carapanayoti & Co., LTD. V. E. T. Green, LTD., 1 concerns a c.i.f. contract affected by the blocking of the Suez Canal in November, 1956. In September of that year, the plaintiffs bought from the defendants 100 tons of Sudanese semi‐decorticated expeller cotton seed cake for shipment from Port Sudan in October or November to Belfast, and the defendants made a covering purchase from Sudan Oil Mills, Ltd., of Khartoum. The contract contained a clause concerning the effect of hostilities, but in the event the court decided the case on the basis of the common law.
