• You were very fond of your boat. You know that the £7,000 you paid for it was probably too much, but you think it was worth it because both your own and Sammy’s family got so much pleasure from it.
• You never asked Sammy to pay for the holidays he and his family enjoyed on the boat.
• The boat was on Sammy’s property when it was damaged, so it is only right that he should pay for the damage.
