Updated 2024-01-04 07:04:08 UTC
Defendant supplied faulty pipes to Plaintiff. The first cracking in the pipes merely required Plaintiff to spend money on repair. The second cracking damaged Plaintiff’s other property.
Plaintiff sued Defendant for both instances.
May J
Held that the original cracking was purely for the cost of repair and therefore economic loss which, other than in special circumstances (see week 3) was not recoverable in negligence.
However the second cracking led to damage of property and could therefore go ahead.
