Professor Fares Haddad, a surgeon who treated footballer Harry Kane, was awarded £37,000 in damages from Jack Barclay Ltd. after his Bentley was stolen.
The court found the Bentley dealership negligent for failing to activate an electronic tracker on Haddad's Bentley Continental GTW12, stolen in January 2023.
The initial claim of £82,643 was reduced because Haddad bore 60% of the blame for not noticing the lack of activation.
