The appellant mechanic appealed a Small Claims Court judgment awarding the respondents $15,000 for the value of their vehicle after a failed engine conversion.
The appellant argued the trial judge provided insufficient reasons and erred in calculating damages.
The Divisional Court dismissed the appeal, finding that while the trial judge's reasons were brief, the evidentiary record supported the conclusions and permitted appellate review.
The court also held that the methodology for calculating damages was reasonable and correct given the appellant's breach of contract.
