The claimant stated that he could not afford to pay for the repairs himself. The defendant argued that the principle in Liesbosch prevented recovery of the hire charges. The majority in the House of Lords observed that Liesbosch had been decided when the test of remoteness was that of directness, as laid down in Re Polemis.
