Background to Laptop Computer Report

The defendant bought a laptop computer from a company under a finance agreement.  Subsequently, the defendant stopped making payments under the finance agreement and the finance company took legal action.  The computer company was joined to the action when it was alleged that the computer was faulty.

I inspected the computer and found that the hard drive had been formatted and that this had deleted the content.  I was able to recover the content using specialist software and described the content in my report.  I also tested the computer and reported upon its operation.
