   ...5. The Applicant bears the burden of proof on a balance of probabilities (that is, that it is more likely than not). When assessing whether the onus of proof has been discharged by an applicant, I need to consider and evaluate the evidence and information presented by the parties.

Whether the service was

   ...factor is the respondent’s ‘offer’ of a refund subject to this dog being returned, and re-homed. That is something the applicant rejects (he wants to keep the dog, but get his money back) obviously because of the emotional attachment that has formed. When a good supplied is an animal, the blunt, possibly even harsh, reality is that it is open to the owner of that good to, so to speak, draw a line under the prospect of continuing costs. If an owner of an animal chooses not to do that,...

   ...cosmetic work. However, the parties had in fact reached an agreement about price, and KA had already received the report, by the time that he paid the $2,500.00. PI had agreed to do his best to ‘tidy up’ the cosmetic issues, but PI had already informed KA that he would not put that commitment in writing because it would not be possible to accurately state what standard L Ltd was obliged to bring the vehicle to. d. It is not proven that PI ‘pressured’ KA into paying the depo...

    ...rather than being intentional, because s 35 includes innocent misrepresentations. However, the difference might not be all that significant given that the car had done nearly 197,000 km at the time of sale. 9. More importantly, I consider that the former statement qualified as a misrepresentation because it was only partly true, and omitted important information about the most recent service, which was in January 2023. The courts have held that that a half-truth, which is literally true...
