VerifiedHi, I’m John a solicitor from Melbourne. I may ask you a few questions to narrow the issues you have raised.
Just to clarify, was there any damaged to your car, as you said in the post not property was damaged ?
if you sue for civil damages in the court, you will only incur the application fee which is a few hundred dollars.
you have a legal right to protect yourself in this situation
