Catchwords

Misuse of identity to open an electricity supply account and the resulting claim for unrecorded electricity consumption. Magistrate ruled in favour of the plaintiff, awarding damages based on a calculation method inconsistent with the pleaded case. On appeal, the court found that the Magistrate had failed to properly evaluate the evidence and misapplied legal principles concerning the burden of proof and adherence to pleadings. The judgment underscored the necessity for consistency in pleadings and the plaintiff’s obligation to prove claims as pleaded.
