    I suppose it depends on how busy the courts are, usually around 3 months to wait in these parts.

    If you have a genuine need to take time off then you can get a written letter from your employer stating the pay you have lost.

    However there may be more practical solutions.

    Do you have any retired relatives, friends or family members who could stay in for you?
    We had some furniture fitted once but weren't keen on leaving the house unattended, so we got retired parents to drive up and sit in the house during the day.

    During this credit crunch you must know someone that is unemployed (no, I'm not joking). It does seem excessive to take a whole 2 weeks off.
    Couldn't you get some of the stuff delivered on the same day?

    Reckon this claim would fail the remoteness of loss test. As you suggest, I am sure there would be practical alternatives.

    I dont think this person was looking for alternatives to having time off but rather the cash instead (for inconvenience)
