PUBLISHED September 10, 2010
SHARE

A district judge had been entitled to dismiss the credit hire element of a claimant's claim for damages following a road traffic accident where (i) as the credit hire agreement for a replacement vehicle had been made between the credit hire company and the claimant at the latter's home, the Cancellation of Contracts made in a Consumer's Home or Place of Work etc. Regulations 2008 applied to the agreement; (ii) the Regulations rendered the agreement unenforceable because the credit hire company had failed to provide the claimant with a cancellation notice as required by the Regulations; (iii) that in turn disentitled the claimant from recovering from the defendant sums otherwise due from him to the credit hire company.
