- HCA11796/1996
Action against the office of the Chief Bailiff is misconceived; the proper defendant would be the individual executing bailiff; on the facts the executing bailiff made an honest mistake and was entitled to the common law protection because the plaintiff failed to demonstrate a real or substantial grievance and had refused an earlier offer to retrieve the goods; claim dismissed with costs to defendant.
