Jaura v Ahmed
[2002] EWCA Civ 210.
A businessman was awarded damages for unlawful eviction based upon loss of profit from sublettings but was refused a sum in respect of the capital value of the lease, as this would have amounted to double recovery. He was also awarded interest at a rate that reflected the cost to him, as a small businessman of being kept out of his money, rather than the lower conventional sums awarded in commercial cases. He received 3% over base prevailing from time to time.
