Watteau v Fenwick [1893] 1 QB 346 is an 1893 English case decided by the Queen's Bench.
The plaintiff, Watteau, supplied cigars to a beer house named the "Victoria," which was located at Middlesbrough.
Prior to 1888, he had operated the business on his own account, but in that year, he had assigned his interest to the defendants, Messrs. Fenwick and Company.
But when Watteau was not paid the 25 pounds owed him, he eventually sued Fenwick.
Dissatisfied with this outcome, the defendants then brought an appeal to the Queen's Bench.
