Atlas Express Ltd v Kafco : ウィキペディア英語版 | Atlas Express Ltd v Kafco
''Atlas Express v Kafco (Importers & Distributors) Ltd'' () QB 833 is an English contract law case relating to duress. ==Facts== Kafco Ltd had a contract to supply Woolworths with baskets. They had a ‘trading agreement’ with Atlas Express for at least six months to do the deliveries. Atlas Express realised it had underestimated the size of cartons to be carried. So it was costing more to deliver. Kafco would not vary the price. Atlas sent an empty truck to Kafco, with a letter saying if a higher charge was not agreed to, the truck would leave empty. Kafco would go broke without the contract, so they signed. Later, Kafco refused to pay, and argued there was economic duress, and also no new consideration.〔See A Burrows, ''Cases and Materials on Contract'' (2nd edn Hart 2009) 709〕 Kafco also successfully argued that Atlas had given no consideration for its promise to pay more money on the basis that Atlas was merely performing an existing contractual duty (Stilk v Myrick (1809) 2 Camp 317)
