Preparing tort law matter:

File 2021:MM 1717 Facts:

Brook and Ash operate a small fruit and vegetable shop. They recently decided to expand their product line by offering freshly prepared fruit salad. One busy morning Brook accidently used unclean utensils to prepare the product. Sadly twelve customers have become ill - all of whom purchased and ate the fruit salad that day. Brook and Ash have received a letter from a solicitor representing one of the customers, Hyacinth. The letter states that Hyacinth intends to file a Claim against Brook and Ash for negligence claiming medical expenses, pain and suffering and loss of income.
