In case one I was asked to calculate the loss of revenue in terms of storage and warehouse activity as a result of a defective floor. In example case 2 I was asked to comment on whether a manager was unfairly dismissed as a result of a poor design and implementation process when transferring from one warehouse to another. In example three a retailer was being prosecuted for unsafe storage practices at its stores and I was asked to comment on their stock replenishment systems among other things. In the tribunal case I was asked to look at the processes involved in the storage of precious metals in China.
