Here, a collision occurred between two cars, one being the plaintiff’s Rolls Royce, as a result of the negligence of the other driver. The damage to the Rolls Royce required a respray of the whole car to remedy it. Two weeks later, a second collision between the same Rolls Royce and a different car, driven by the defendant, caused similar damage which also required a respray to repair it. The Court of Appeal concluded that, as the requirement for a respray already existed before the second collision, there was effectively no damage arising from that second collision.
