Hong Kong Client v. Chinese Foshan Processing Manufacturer- Processing Contract
In May 2023, a Hong Kong company entered into a processing contract with a Chinese Foshan processing manufacturer. The agreement stipulated that the manufacturer would process custom handmade gifts for the Hong Kong company using client-supplied raw materials, with a total processing fee of HKD 150,000 and a delivery deadline of August 2023.
But the manufactured goods exhibited quality problems of non-conforming dimensions to the design and standards agreed in the contract. The Hong Kong company demanded a refund because the raw materials had been processed and scrapped and could not be remade,but the Chinese Foshan processing manufacturer refused to refund the money. The Hong Kong company filed an arbitration with the Guangzhou Arbitration Commission, demanding a refund of the processing fee and recovery of liquidated damages. The arbitration commission upheld the claim of the Hong Kong company.
