Case No. HT-11-503

.124.Although, in paragraph 88 of his closing submissions, Mr Plewman argued that there were other sums to be added, I reject that, because Mr Thomas’ figures were global, and they therefore discounted the different claims (for apparently similar work) by different contractors. I also reject the criticism that this adjustment then produces a figure close to the claimed amount; the pleaded amount was for nearly twice the sum assessed by Mr Thomas, even allowing for this modification.125.Accordingly, I value the electrician claim in the sum of £25,750 which is based on Mr Thomas’ valuation but with the extra amount to reflect the total stripping out.
