dress was badly stained. No explanation was given about the stained dress. However, one of the
assistants recalled handing the dinner suit to a customer who had apparently lost his docket but was
able to identify the dinner suit when allowed to sort through the rack of dry cleaned clothing
awaiting collection by customers.
Dan demanded compensation but the owner of Toff Dry Cleaners referred Dan to a clause on the
docket which read: We will not be liable for any loss or damage to clothing left for cleaning. The
owner also pointed to a sign at the back of the shop which had been displayed there for some time.
