Remember That Time

Despite Tesco’s admission of liability for selling Mr Bond 61 litres of diesel that had been contaminated with water, it balked at paying more than 25 per cent of his £3,400 repair bill. After chasing the debt for three years Mr Bond secured a High Court judgment against Tesco in December. As the supermarket chain continued to stall, the court ordered enforcement officers to impound goods until it had cleared its debt. So last Thursday shoppers at the St Oswald’s Road Tesco Extra store in Gloucester watched as bailiffs strolled in and roped off £60,000 of its finest wines and liquors. Staff were warned that they would be in contempt of court if they tried to sell the goods which were under a walking possession. Looks like no-one is safe!
