 Gates v The City Mutual Life Assurance Society Ltd (1986) 160 CLR 1
The trial judge held that he was entitled to damages for breach of contract (assessed at $66,003), but not entitled to damages under the TPA because there was no evidence that the insurance cover given by the policy was not worth what he paid for it.
The false statements may have led to a contract, but the damage claimed does not flow from the making of that contract, but from its breach.
The contract was to pay out the policy if Gates suffered an injury rendering him physically incapable of pursuing his occupation for 90 days provided that, after that period, the medical evidence was such that City Mutual considered that Gates was unlikely ever to be able physically to do so again.

 Starker v. United States   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-12)

 Annex 5
When two parties enter into a futures contract, both the seller of the contract and the buyer of the contract are required to post collateral to cover the potential future credit exposure that they pose to the clearing house.
Because of the zero-sum nature of a futures contract, if collateral requirements for a long position go up, for example, those for a short position will go down, but there is no pay-through of gains and losses as in the cash clearing system.
The premium is paid to the seller of the contract over time in the form of the daily variation margin payments through the life of the contract and on final close-out.

It was suggested on behalf of Dr Barry that independently of the MDU’s own rules, there was a “separate collateral contract providing for indemnity” since the start of his membership in 1963.
During the earlier High Court hearing upholding the MDU’s position, this “collateral contract” was, according to Justice Geoghegan, characterised on behalf of Dr Barry as “an implied unwritten contract”.
It is a very bad judgement for the MDU because it says the improper breach of discretion is a breach of contract,” he claimed.

 98-6410 -- Palo Duro Production Co. V. Federal Deposit Insurance Corp. -- 08/26/1999
Specifically, Palo Duro alleged that the FDIC breached the contract's cooperation clause by opposing Palo Duro's attempt to foreclose on collateral that Palo Duro contends the FDIC sold to it through the contract, collateral that an Oklahoma state court found the FDIC had conveyed to Palo Duro.
Rejecting Palo Duro's primary argument that the state courts had already resolved the dispositive issue of what collateral FDIC conveyed to Palo Duro and relying on extrinsic evidence, the district court determined that the parties did not intend that the mortgages on the 80% properties be conveyed to Palo Duro through the NPPA.
This order and judgment is not binding precedent, except under the doctrines of law of the case, res judicata, and collateral estoppel.
