Facts of the Case
Background
The plaintiff's BMW X5 was damaged in a collision with an Isuzu KB driven by the 1st defendant, an employee of the 2nd defendant, who admitted negligence. While his vehicle was being repaired, the plaintiff hired a Mercedes Benz for 45 days and paid US$14,850 to Glory Car Hire. The 2nd defendant admitted vicarious liability for the accident but refused to reimburse the car hire costs, disputing the proof of payment.
