https://www.taxtmi.com/caselaws?id=275975 A railway accident enquiry report prepared under the railway accident enquiry framework was held admissible because no privilege was established and the report was relevant to the surrounding facts. On the evidence, the loss of the consignments was attributed to negligence in the handling of the barge and anchor arrangements, with adverse inference drawn from the railways' failure to produce material witnesses and documents; the railways were therefore liable as bailee. In assessing damages for non-delivery, the Court reaffirmed that compensation is compensatory and may place the injured party in the position it would have occupied on due performance; where the evidence showed that the contract price reflected the true value at the relevant time, it was correctly adopted as the measure of damages. en-us Thu, 11 Mar 1976 00:00:00 +0530 Wed, 24 Oct 2018 15:20:22 +0530 TaxTMI RSS Generator https://www.taxtmi.com/caselaws?id=275975 A railway accident enquiry report prepared under the railway accident enquiry framework was held admissible because no privilege was established and the report was relevant to the surrounding facts.
