I've searched the forum for relevant case law but can't find any on here or anywhere else. I'm a legal executive and I suspect the Judge won't deal with a lot of claims like mine (where he has to award something - if I can prove loss) and would have liked some cases to present to him. I will try the law library and if I find any will let you know and post it - not sure where is most appropriate. From what i've read damages are limited and can be nil. There are some cases but they are more to do with damage to reputation than financial loss (as in my case) caused by default.

Anyone got any case law on damages for breach of data protection act, defamation or breach of contract relating to a default notice. The bank have removed this (two days prior to the final hearing!) put no defence in to any of the above claims and there is a hearing on 1st December now to determine solely the issue of amount of damages, costs to be awarded to me. They are quoting hadley and baxendale - remoteness (which is a load of rubbish as that applies to breach of contract only) but I'd really like some cases to do a skeleton argument prior to the hearing. Any quick replies would be appreciated. Thanks

Hi. I'm in court on 1st December for a hearing solely on damages for a default HSBC removed (two days prior to the final court hearing). They entered no defence to the data protection act, or defamation part of my claim or the breach of contract part (all relating to a default notice put on my credit file by them). The ony issue for the court to resolve now is in relation to the amount of damages and costs. Does anyone have any case law on this. I have searched high and low and can't find anything relevant. What is the case law you are referring to above. A quick reply would be really appreciated. Thanks for any help.
