Fares Haddad, the surgeon who operated on Harry Kane's hamstring, is suing Jack Barclay Ltd for £78,643 after his Bentley was stolen. The orthopaedic specialist claims the dealership failed to activate the car's tracking device, leading to his insurance claim being rejected.
Mr Haddad's Bentley Continental GTW12 was taken from his driveway in January 2023. His insurer refused to pay out because the car's tracker was not operational, a condition of his policy. The surgeon argues that Jack Barclay staff promised to set up the tracker subscription when he bought the car in 2019.
In court, Mr Haddad's barrister said the surgeon specifically asked about the tracker when collecting the vehicle, having had previous issues with his Aston Martin. The car was sold with a tracker pre-installed and was active for the first year, but the subscription was never registered or renewed, leaving it inactive at the time of the theft.
The dealership, known as the UK's oldest Bentley dealer, denies any negligence. It contends that Mr Haddad was solely responsible for activating the tracker and that no undertaking was given by staff. The case continues at Central London County Court.
