    Meter tampering at the defendant's premises was proven (corroborated by inspection, photographs, police report and the defendant's later admission); Plaintiff's loss calculation using the Energy Commission 'error method' and five-year back-billing under the EC Guidelines was a lawful, reasonable and supported estimation; Plaintiff discharged its burden and defendant failed to rebut the estimate, therefore judgment for RM24,578.60 with costs and interest is warranted.
