"DOMAINE CLARENCE DILLON PUBLIC LTD Co" CASE
V/DONNART

Sir,

The DOMAIN CLARENCE DILLON company entrusted me to answer your mail of November 9, 2000.

As my client pointed out repeatedly, she cannot consider a compensation of the damage you claim to have suffered unless it is proved that such damage exists and that it bears a direct relationship with the facts you are complaining of.

Now, your letter of November 9, 2000 was enclosing an estimate for repairs to a scooter.

For lack of any documentary evidence about the origin of the damages for which you ask compensation and for lack, besides , of invoices, this request cannot, in the present state, be taken into consideration by my client.

Besides, you ask for a lump sum of 8000 Francs for the other items of damage.

The principle of compensation implies that a fault attributable to its author has been established , a damage, and a link of causality between the damage and the fault.

You do mention "inconveniences", but the points you adduce cannot, obviously, entitle to any compensation.

On the other hand, if you have documentary evidences about the cleaning of your working clothes and, naturally if you justify that the repairs to be made on your scooter are really the result of facts attributable to some grapeharvesters, my client will indemnify you for the sums you were brought to pay out.

Yours sincerely.

A. LINDNER
