   ...has to be placed face down, and, as the back of the watch is slightly curved, it has placed pressure on the 100 year old mineral glass and caused the crystal to shatter. NK, however, said his service was performed on the basis of ‘all care and no responsibility’. 7. I find that once N Ltd accepted the engraving on the antique watches, then it was bound to perform its service using reasonable care and skill and so that the result would be fit for the purpose UH requested it for....

   ...act with disregard to the law. He may not have been intending to act unlawfully, but he certainly acted recklessly as to his obligations. [23] Mr KQ presented to the Authority as sincere and honest. He acknowledges his failures and takes full responsibility for them. He is to be commended for this. His assurances that he is upskilling himself sufficiently to ensure he will not be in a position to breach the Act again are persuasive. It is apparent that he is willing to learn from...

   ...while the failed heater core and consequent leak are on the same side of the car as the impact from the collision I am persuaded by DD’s evidence that the heater core failure was not caused by the collision. Under NP’s insurance policy B Ltd is responsible to fix damage caused by the collision but has no responsibility or obligation to fix any other damage. 14. Accordingly I find that NP’s claim is dismissed. 15. For completion, I note that at the end of the hearing NP asked...
