MILS successfully settles a claim for rejection of a vehicle.

Case Details:

This client sought representation in proceedings he had issued himself for a refund of the purchase price of a car he had bought at auction and which he claimed had been mis described by the seller on the auction entry form. The seller stated on the form that ‘to the best of his knowledge’ the car had not sustained serious accident damage. Induced by this, our client successfully bid £6,618 for the car. When he got the car, it was immediately clear to our client that the car was  damaged and unsaleable. He got an expert to look at the car who confirmed our client’s view. The seller defended the case on the basis that he thought the information he gave on the form was true.

We advised the client that the defence filed was not a legal defence to a claim for misrepresentation and the client was fully advised as to proceeding to trial. A case management hearing was listed in March. Through negotiations with the Defendant we settled the case with a payment to our client of £8,000 in settlement of his claim including interest and costs.

• The client saved at least £2,000 by using MILS.
• The client was charged £470.00 by MILS for conducting the case
