The claimants engaged the defendant to star in a film which they were making. At the last moment, in breach of contract, the defendant refused to perform in the film and the claimants had to abandon the film because they were unable to find a replacement actor. Expectation losses were too speculative to prove. Instead, the television company obtained damages in respect of expenses of £2,750 that had been wasted by reason of the defendant's refusal to perform, even though these expenses had been incurred before the contract was made.
