More details: See hereA leading energy litigation firm has won a noteworthy case against an energy broker seeking to claim lost commissions from a small business.
The judgment, in what is believed to be a national first, sought to protect businesses from unscrupulous scaremongering by energy brokers seeking to 'pressure' them into questionable contracts.
Energy Solicitors Ltd (ESL) represented Petro's Handyman Service, a Cambridge-based property maintenance firm, in a case brought by energy broker Utility Savings Group Ltd. The case, heard at the Cambridge County Court, was in relation to lost commissions amounting to £3930.58, after the energy broker claimed to have secured three energy contracts for the small business.
While the broker attributed their alleged losses to a customer default from the contracts not going through; ESL argued that there was no customer default to begin with as the contracts had never come to fruition, nor did the agreement of alternative contracts amount to a customer default.
