Partner left my stuff out in the rain?????

Hi everybody,

Just wanted some advice please. About a week ago I was supposed to pick up my stuff from the MFH as agreed by her solicitor.
In the solicitors letter she agreed that I can send my brother to collect my personal possessions as there was a NON MOL against me. Most of it was electrical equipment as I am a DJ.
When my brother got there all my equipment had been left out in the rain overnight by the look of it. Now 99% of my stuff is now only fit for the BIN. Can anybody tell me what I can do to sue her for all the damages as I needed the equipment''s to get additional income as I am defending myself. Should I let the court know what''s happened or is it a separate issue altogether. I am really gutted. She has the house, the car, the dogs, even my mobile phone which she will not give back and says she has not got it. and I am even having to pay for contact £200 for 2hrs to see my daughter. What more does she want??????????? I have all the pictures which my brother took on the day and he could not believe his eyes.
Any help would be appreciated
many thanks

I understand how peeved you are at your stuff being treated this way and of course its outrageous. But.. You could in theory try and recover the damage done. But at what cost? Often, belongings are not worth fighting over. Ok it may be ruined but by the time you add all the letters and court appearances up, you would be out of pocket. This is one area where you have to take it on the chin and chalk this one up. C.

When your brother got there? It has rained heavily here unexpectedly can you sue ... Can you afford to sue? It''s expensive there is no legal aid to do so

I really think that it won''t be successful due to weather conditions and your brother arriving too late you have your belongings is it her fault it was raining.

She was not supposed to leave it outside all the letter said that my items will be ready to be collected. My brother was not late. there was no agreement that my items was going to be left outside ......just "READY TO BE COLLECTED"...there was no mentioned that it was going to be left outside "IN THE RAIN"...!!!!!!

Hi,
Electrical equipment is usually fairly tolerant of water....as long as it is not turned on at the time, or turned on before it has dried out, the thing is not to rush to plug it in.

absolutely water log ... and I mean drench with water. speakers will not work after a week of being dried with fan heater and hair dryer as well. repair man says cannot be repaired ... not forgetting the laptop

Perhaps it''s worth asking for the value of the goods to be added to your share when it comes to sorting the finances?
