The
claim was lodged following the destruction of a Sony warehouse in Enfield,
United Kingdom. Total of 25
youths smashed into the unit,
looted it and then threw two petrol bombs causing the building to burn for
almost 10 days. It was an arson attack. Previously it was believed
compensation payable by police under the Riot Act was limited to physical
damages.According
to Clive Coleman, the court presiding could affect other business on 11th
August 2011 and those affected by any future riots. He says, when loss
occur, it does not mean that business will receive every penny of their
"consequential" business loss. For example, the business owner has
invited rioters inside or does not have any equipment such as sprinkler system
that can reduce the loss, that can be taken into account.
