Facts of the Case
Background
The appellants appealed against a magistrates court judgment awarding the respondent $10,000 for damages to his Mercedes Benz ML 320 which was burnt beyond repair in a road accident. The court a quo found the first appellant negligent for encroaching into the respondent's lane. While liability was established, the appeal court found the quantum of damages was improperly assessed without considering the wreck's value.
