- DCCJ4867/2014
The court found on the balance of probabilities that the Properties were in the plaintiff's possession and stored at the defendant's premises, that the plaintiff made demands for return which the defendant refused, and therefore the defendant was liable in detinue and conversion; damages were properly assessed by value at the date of conversion (30 September 2014) and assessed at US$125,000 (limited to plaintiff's pleaded amount); the defendant's witness statement was excluded because admission would prejudice the plaintiff's right to cross-examine and would not affect the outcome.
