Hi. I was wanting advice, not a load of rubbish from trash cans.

I think I would have liked someone to come along and say yes you can take them to court or no you cannot.

Instead what I got was first class crap.

You cannot take them to court for £15.

So I cant go to court for damages/hurt feelings/being robbed/or just a bit of justice really?

Okay thank you.

No you can't. A small claim has to be for a quantifiable amount. You can't put a value on hurt feelings.

Not only that there is what is called the De Minimis rule. A court does not concern itself with trifling matters. If the costs associated with a claim outweighs the value of a claim then the court can reject the application of its own volition. £15 would fit into that bracket.

Another 'Disgusted of Royal Tunbridge Wells'!

Go to court, get laughed at. Come back and tell us how you got on. We could do with a giggle...

Or, in the real world, you had a fun in with the bus driver. You made your complaint. Move on with life, you could get hit by a bus tomorrow...

You learned long ago not to "feed" any poster. Yet why are you here "feeding" me as you put it.

You want to get a job on the 364.

You were told in the very first reply that you can't.
