California Court of Appeal

Verdict against plaintiff, finding he had suffered no damages for loss of use after entrusting his 1971 Jaguar XKE to defendant's auto repair shop where the car was exposed to the elements, ruining the engine and making the car a total loss, is affirmed as plaintiff had not used the car for years, and one who does not use a car is not entitled to damages for loss of use.
