Acorn Services Ltd v Dill [2013] SC (Bda) 33 App
The Plaintiff had been awarded judgment for rent arrears, including collection and legal fees attainable under the lease. The Plaintiff had appealed on the grounds that the Magistrate had not awarded the full collection fees under the lease.
Kawaley CJ held that the collection fees were a contractual claim which the Plaintiff was entitled to. The clause in the contract did not put a penalty on the Defendant, but merely reflected the costs that the Plaintiff had suffered in order to collect on the debt [10]-[13].
