CASE AGAINST MOTORIST
ASSOCIATION'S CLAIM WRONGFUL USE OF BADGE A claim by the Automobile Association (Auckland) against a bus driver, George Scon, for damages of £1 for wrongful detention of an association badge and 10s for roadside service was heard before Mr. F. .K. Hunt, S.M., in the Magistrate's Court yesterday. Counsel for the association, Mr. Holmden, stated that a member of the association who resigned sold his metal badge, which was the property of the association, to defendant. Efforts by the association either to regain the badge or to get defendant to become a member himself were unsuccessful. On a later occasion defendant was given roadside service to a motor-car by an association patrol. There was a badge on defendant's car and defendant stated that he was a member of the association. Counsel added that the badge had now been returned to the association.
Tho damages sought were awarded by the magistrate, who remarked that the claims were reasonable.
