1. This is an appeal from an order of Barnett, J. made on 27 October 1998. The action before the judge was an action for damages for conversion of a motor car. The plaintiff was the hirer of the motor car under a hire-purchase agreement; her fiancé, one Cheung Wing Chau, had bought the car for her use. The defendant was a motor repairer. He had received the car from the plaintiff for repair but, contending he had not been paid, refused to return it when asked to do so.
