Looking for an Australian legal case that matches the following situation. Customer "A" had two cars for body work/coachwork repairs/restoration. Repairer "B" (a company) is experienced with luxury cars such as Rolls-Royce, Bentley and Aston Martin cars. B gives quote for certain paintwork and interior work. No time frame to finish the jobs is in quote. B whilst having the cars carries out substantial renovation work on B's premises significantly delaying the work on A's cars and work on other vehicles - beyond A's control, cars are at B's for years. When finished B sends a huge bill - greatly more than quote even for quoted items. A pays amount as quoted. B argues that quote was an estimate only. B claims lien over cars for payment of B's bill and charges storage and interest on the unpaid claimed amount. Looking for cases in Australian courts - state and federal dealing with the issues raised and also deceptive and misleading conduct and fair trading violations. Note that A denied use of his cars for years (although has other cars for transport but suffers loss of enjoyment and embarrassment with friends, family and business associates that it appears he can't afford to get cars back from B). Looking for cases to support damages claim against B or a cross-claim against B for loss of use/enjoyment of cars, loss of value of cars and other claims. Further, it is noted that the cars' values have dropped since the cars went to B notwithstanding work done on cars. |
