Worth noting that the standard Access Self Storage Ts & Cs specifically exclude liability for consequential business losses (and cap liability at the value of the stored items):
so even if you can demonstrate breach of contract, the relevant damages would be limited....0 -
I believe implicitly FOS can proceed with this case breach of contract considering the consequences of this last as described here.The storage company involded is Access Self Storage but the terms & conditions of this last is similar to standard Access Self Storage Ts & Cs. However, as themeselves they breached the contract and their terms & conditions, I beleieve this last is no more relevant (especially if I can prove their harassment, misleading etc...
Anyway, it still sounds like you need to sort out exactly who you plan to pursue and how - assault and harassment by individuals are criminal matters that need to involve the police, but breach of contract is a civil matter that would need to be pursued by suing the company, so my point was that the latter would be judged by reference to the contractual Ts & Cs rather than any criminal actions of employees.0
