The respondents purchased a vehicle from the appellants who had not disclosed that the vehicle was found to be certified as a statutory write-off vehicle because of storm and flood damage.

The appellants appealed this decision. The court accepted the the vehicle offer and sale agreement did not contain any acknowledgment that the statutory and regulatory duties were met, and agreed with the Tribunals decision in that "there was a “clear nexus between the misleading conduct and the purchaser’s decision to proceed with the purchase of the vehicle.
