Court Cases
Whilst businesses continue to face unfounded and false allegations that they refuse
to issue claims in the County Courts, and that the damages sought in civil recovery
proceedings are not recoverable in law, Judges continue to award damages in civil
recovery cases all over the country.
Retailers have taken the initiative to demonstrate to critics who cannot understand
the law, that damages sought are lawful, by pleading cases which ensure that damages
are examined by Judges before being awarded irrespective of whether a case is defended.
In each case now being issued, evidence regarding quantum is presented to the Court,
whether defended or not, and each head of damage is being examined by the Court
at a disposal hearing, and awarded accordingly.
