Summary
A buyer ordered wooden doors and paid part of the price; the supplier missed the agreed delivery date. In absentia, the court rescinded the contract and ordered the supplier to return the payment plus the agreed penalty; the Court of Appeal upheld the judgment.
Principle
A penalty clause aims to press the obligor to perform; experts may help assess it so that it does not harm the other party.
