CIV/T/812/2003

IN THE
HIGH COURT OF LESOTHO

In the
matter between:-

MOLEFI
LEKHOOA PLAINTIFF

and

IMPERIAL
FLEET SERVICES (PTY) LTD 1st DEFENDANT

EORGE
MOFOKA 2nd DEFENDANT

JUDGMENT

Given on
the 1st March, 2005 by the Honourable Mrs Justice A.M. Hlajoane

The
Plaintiff in this case, a businessman of Mafeteng, had instituted
action against the Defendants claiming damages in the sum
of
seventeen thousand, one hundred and forty-five maluti (M17,145) as
costs of repairs, and thirty thousand and six maluti fifty
nine
lisente (M30,006.59) for loss of earnings with interest and costs.

Plaintiff
has shown in his papers that he is claiming for damages as a result
of a collision between his vehicle and that of the
First

2

Defendant.
He further showed that First Defendant's vehicle was being driven by
the Second Defendant during the collision, thus
making his employer
liable as he was acting within the scope of his employment.

The
matter was ripe for hearing as pleadings were closed, when it was
placed before me. However, the matter was decided in chambers
as
Counsel on both sides had reached a settlement. They had agreed that
judgment be entered by consent in the sum of twenty thousand
maluti
(M20,000) plus taxed party and party costs.

Their
settlement was thus made an order of this Court.
