The High Court held the respondent was entitled to damages measured as wasted expenditure (a reliance/restitution remedy under s9 Contractual Remedies Act) because the franchise was induced by false representations; any incidental benefits did not offset the established losses, accountancy fees incurred to operate the franchise were recoverable, but certain operating/trading expenses (telephone, electricity, minor repairs) were properly excluded, leading to a small reduction in the award; interest and judgment enforcement provisions were confirmed.
