\par 
\par The issue is with respect to the rates payable by the defendant to the plaintiff for services provided in the year 1998 and thereafter until 6 March 2000.
\par 
\par It is agreed on the evidence that a meeting took place between representatives of the plaintiff and the defendant on 22}{\f0\lang2057\langfe1033\super\langnp2057\insrsid9125902\charrsid4064174 nd}{

The meeting appears to have been precipitated by the plaintiff\rquote s request for an increase in rates for the 1998 year of 10% and the defendant\rquote s reduction of the rates for that year.
\par 
\par This seems to have occurred notwithstanding the terms of the agreement that the Consumer Price Index would adjust the rates on an annual basis on the}{\f0\lang2057\langfe1033\langnp2057\insrsid4064174  }{

\par 
\par The plaintiff contends that it maintained its position that it required an increase in rates and did not agree to a reduction in rates.}{\f0\lang2057\langfe1033\langnp2057\insrsid4064174  }{

 April 1998 agreement was reached between the parties that the rate henceforth would be $880.00 for draft survey certification.
\par 
\par It is difficult to accept the evidence of Mr. Mani in the light of the letter of the}{\f0\lang2057\langfe1033\langnp2057\insrsid4064174  }{\f0\lang2057\langfe1033\langnp2057\insrsid9125902\charrsid4064174 27}{

\par 
\par The defendant continued after April 1998 and until 6 March 2000 to engage the plaintiff to carryout inter alia draft survey certification for all of its shipments of wood chip.}{\f0\lang2057\langfe1033\langnp2057\insrsid4064174  }{

\par The evidence then is that in April 2000, the plaintiff withdrew its services due to the defendant\rquote s refusal to make payment of the monies outstanding that are the subject of the claim before the court.

\par 
\par In the absence of any agreement in 1998, it would seem that the rates applicable as at 1}{\f0\lang2057\langfe1033\super\langnp2057\insrsid9125902\charrsid4064174 st}{\f0\lang2057\langfe1033\langnp2057\insrsid9125902\charrsid4064174 
 January 1998 would continue until such time as they were amended or contract was varied.
\par 
\par It is trite that the contract between the parties can only be varied by mutual agreement.}{\f0\lang2057\langfe1033\langnp2057\insrsid4064174  }{\f0\lang2057\langfe1033\langnp2057\insrsid9125902\charrsid4064174 
Neither party has the right to unilaterally vary any term of the contract.
\par 
\par Whilst it is clear on the evidence that the defendant agreed to perform }{\i\f0\lang2057\langfe1033\langnp2057\insrsid9125902\charrsid4064174 the \'93next schedule shipment only\'94}{\f0\lang2057\langfe1033\langnp2057\insrsid9125902\charrsid4064174 
 at a rate of $880.00, it is not clear that any agreement was reached as to any rate applicable for the 1998 year and thereafter.
\par 
\par There being no agreement as to the rate as is stated above, the rate applicable as at 1}{\f0\lang2057\langfe1033\super\langnp2057\insrsid9125902\charrsid4064174 st}{\f0\lang2057\langfe1033\langnp2057\insrsid9125902\charrsid4064174 
 January 1998 would continue until such time as the contract was terminated or further agreement was reached with respect to any particular term of the contract.
\par 
\par As the plaintiff is claimed only those fees payable in accordance with the rate applicable as at 1}{\f0\lang2057\langfe1033\super\langnp2057\insrsid9125902\charrsid4064174 st}{\f0\lang2057\langfe1033\langnp2057\insrsid9125902\charrsid4064174 
 January 1998, I find that it is entitled to payment at that rate and accordingly is entitled to a verdict and judgment in accordance with the statement of claim.
\par 
\par The only evidence with respect to interests is that given on behalf of the plaintiff.}{\f0\lang2057\langfe1033\langnp2057\insrsid4064174  }{\f0\lang2057\langfe1033\langnp2057\insrsid9125902\charrsid4064174 
That evidence is that the plaintiff has an overdraft and that the rate of interest payable on an overdraft is 13.5%.}{\f0\lang2057\langfe1033\langnp2057\insrsid4064174  }{\f0\lang2057\langfe1033\langnp2057\insrsid9125902\charrsid4064174 
Accordingly, it seems only reasonable that any interest awarded to the plaintiff should be such as to compensate the plaintiff for the loss of having access to the funds since March 2000.
