Areas of Law / General Legal Advice

My tools were stolen from a building in a “secure” compound where I’m working. The main contractor on the site (I’m working for a sub contractor) employs a security firm. Can you advise me if I can get compensation from anyone?

You personally don’t have a contract with the security firm to look after your equipment. And even if the tools had belonged to the main contractor it’s unlikely the security firm will have agreed to accept responsibility for anything that goes missing. However, although you can’t take the security firm to court for breach of contract it’s just possible you could sue them for negligence if you could prove they were indeed negligent. I have to say insurance would be a better bet.
