- Court of Appeal
Appeal dismissed. Court held claimant(s) could recover reasonable replacement hire charges from the wrongdoer as mitigation of loss of use even though the credit‑hire company did not intend to enforce immediate payment; the hire agreements were not champertous or an unenforceable assignment; the hirings were reasonable and R2D's charges were within market range; repairer delay did not break causation; interest on the judgment payable was properly awarded under statutory principles.
