Cool it Ltd manufactures fridge freezers and regularly uses Move it Ltd, a road haulage company, to deliver products to its network of distributors. Recently Cool it Ltd requested Move it Ltd to deliver a quantity of fridges to a distributor in Penzance. When Move it Ltd took delivery of the goods, Cool it Ltd.'s distribution manager was given a consignment note which he failed to read. On the reverse there was a statement reading:
"Whilst Move it Ltd undertake to ensure the safety of goods, they cannot accept responsibility for any loss, damage or delay arising from the transportation of said goods."

On the way to Penzance and due to carelessness on the part of Move it's driver, Move it Ltd.'s lorry was involved in an accident which resulted in substantial damage to Cool it Ltd.'s appliances. Cool it Ltd is now suing Move it Ltd for the loss arising from the damage to its appliances.
