Cat dies at the groomers.

[LPC]

Some facts are plain in this case. The groomer did not take the cat to the vet, as the vet denies ever having treated it. The time scale is too short for cremation to have taken place (notice required, and the legal "owner" would need to authorise it anyway). So on the basis of these facts alone, the cat's caretaker has grounds for a legal case.

I'm not one for the "Sue anything that moves!" school of thought, but in this case the truth is being deliberately hidden and court might be the only way to force answers out of the groomer.
