The appellant appealed a Small Claims Court decision dismissing his claim against the respondent for negligent vehicle maintenance.
The appellant alleged the respondent failed to properly tighten a drain plug during a fluid change, causing his vehicle to break down 11 months later.
The Divisional Court upheld the trial judge's finding that the appellant failed to prove causation on a balance of probabilities.
The court also found no error in the admission of a downloaded maintenance manual into evidence.
The appeal was dismissed with costs.
