Kadango v Stagecoach Mw Ltd (Civil Cause 1518 of 1994) [2000] MWHCCiv 2 (31 January 2000)
Defendant liable for false imprisonment where its agents arrested and handed plaintiff to police; defamation and business-loss claims unproven.
  • Tort — False imprisonment — liability where employer's agents effect arrest and hand over suspect to police; mere reporting differs from making a charge
  • Defamation — requires publication to third parties and proof of reputational harm
  • Damages — defendant liable only for period attributable to its actions; police delay reduces defendant's exposure
  • Evidence — credibility and presence of witness critical; hearsay unacceptable to rebut direct evidence
