Exclamation whos problem?? Wheel falling off.

mate of mine just had a heap of insurance work done after he was involved in an accident and the car came into contact with the kerb.. Almost all the front suspension plus 1 rim was replaced...

Today when picking it up, the repairer warned him that he should get new wheel' nuts as the old ones did not fit his new rim ( rim was slightly diff, as his old ones are out of production..)

Coming home, as he was pulling into his estate, his front passanger side wheel fell off!!!!! After calling hi parents, he called me as i live around the corner.

Having aloook, the studs on the hub look fine, but the was no rim!!!

Where does reponsibilty fall?? Should the repairer have released it if it wasnt safe or 100% right!
