Harriet went to Maurice's computer shop for the first time and left her expensive laptop computer to be cleaned and upgraded. The shop was burgled, despite Maurice's extensive security measures.

Maurice is a sole trader and does not have any insurance to cover the theft. He draws Harriet's attention to a small sign in a dimly lit corner of the shop which says 'No liability accepted' and to an exclusion clause printed in small letters on the back of the receipt for the laptop. It states (in legal terms copied from the internet) that he will not be liable for loss or damage to goods left for service or repair under any circumstances.

Discuss, giving your reasons, if Harriet will succeed in gaining compensation from Maurice for the lost laptop.
