It's not really clear whether this is an actual cable company (if it is there's a good chance that it's VM as they own the vast majority of UK cable companies now), or a contractor. IIRC, there's only one tiny cable operator that VM don't now own.
The defendant was called Paul, but it didn't reveal any more details than this.
An installer refused to return the van and installation equipment after he claims that he was still owed wages. The van was eventually let go as it was owned by a fleet lease company, but he took all the equipment out.
Do VM lease their vans?
Is not being paid a common problem for installers? I'm wondering if it is for this man to go to such extraordinary lengths.
The relevant case starts halfway through after the second break:
