Although the defendant owed a duty of care in respect of files on the company-issued laptop, the plaintiff failed to prove on the balance of probabilities that the deleted files rightfully belonged to the company or that deletion caused compensable loss; the Employee Handbook did not expressly establish ownership or a prohibition against deletion; therefore no breach sufficient for damages was established and the Sessions Court decision for the defendant is affirmed; appeal dismissed with costs (nominal damages only if liability assumed).
