Miro Peterson is a driver who sub-contracts to a company called Fast Parts.

Miro has a daily run delivering automotive spare parts to a number of service companies all over town. On run number 214, on Tuesday 15th of this month, he had a job to deliver a box of manuals to a company called Fix It Quick in Moonbridge. The manuals were worth about $265. Miro had just picked them up and was on his way to Moonbridge when a bad storm started. Very heavy rain fell. Miro pulled over to the side of the road and waited for about 15 minutes before the worst of the rain passed. When he arrived at his destination he discovered that the tarp on the back of the ute wasn’t tied down properly, so the box of manuals was sopping wet.

Miro went and saw Caitlin Hooper, who works in the office at Fix It Quick. He apologised, showed her the box and explained what had happened. He said that he would complete a ‘Customer loss and damage claim form’ so that the items could be replaced as soon as possible.
