The period of three months during which the respondent had kept his business going with a hired bakkie was not unreasonably long as against the appellant : It was not unfair or unjust to hold the appellant liable for the expenses which the respondent had incurred during that period in order to maintain his income.

The court held, accordingly, on the facts, that the respondent, having regard to the predicament in which he had found himself, had not acted unreasonably in hiring a bakkie for a period of three months, and that it was not unfair or unjust to the appellant to hold him liable for the compensation of the respondent's damages.

The court held that the respondent had been placed in a quandary which had been caused by the act of the appellant, and that the respondent's conduct in reaction thereto had been reasonable in all respects : To regard his shortage of money and consequent inability to purchase a bakkie as an obstacle to the recovery of his expenses in hiring a vehicle would be unfair and unjust towards him.
