I believe that I would write and start billing them for storage. This will either bring the matter to a swift conclusion, or it will be the end of it.

He could bill them if he liked, but they would be under no obligation to pay it as they had not previously agreed to it.

BV72s post seems to contradict this and I have taken his counsel.

An involuntary bailee may have a claim for reasonable charges, based on the law of restitution, rather than the law of contract. Having said that, we are talking here about a case of what I assume to be rather ordinary wine, not a dozen magnums of Pichon Longueville Comtesse de Lalande 1964, or similar, so all this brainy stuff about bailment is perhaps a tad academic.

Can you not sell it under s12 of the Torts (Interference with Goods) Act 1977 - section 12

The wine is nothing special. Most PH powerfully built director types wouldn't even use it to cook with.

Of course not, that's something we leave to our chefs.

Any 911 owner friends would use it to clean engine parts, Ferrari mechanics used to use Lambruscco for this. Open a bottle and report please !

I Had similar last year, a manufacturer made a balls up of an order.

I was supposed to have some downlights delivered straight from the manufacturer via a supplier.

however the manufacturer sent everything my supplier ordered to me!!

Including 1000 ceiling roses!!

They didn't even call me, just kept sending couriers in the week while i was not there (as i was working)

I then had a rather rude lady call me asking why i was refusing the collection, and pretty much expected me take take a day off from working so it could be collected.

After around a month they agreed to a Saturday collection.

Oh and the original courier didn't even take a signature, he just dumped the pallet (with around £3K of stock) next to my garage, so it wasn't like id accepted the order knowing it wasn't mine!

When I worked as a courier, we used to have a few issues with wine companies.

Lots of folk received wine they had never ordered, and I remember making weekly deliveries to a derelict house which never stopped despite my mentioning it to both my managers and the wine company. There were about 30 crates of wine stacked in the back porch when I finished working there
