It is Darby. Thanks very much. It'll make a good bookend for Palsgraf in a talk I'm giving next month.

Dear David et al

Possibly this one:

Darby v National Trust for Places of Historic Interest or Natural Beauty [2001] EWCA Civ 189 (2001) 3 L.G.L.R. 29 [2001] P.I.Q.R. P27 Times, February 23, 2001, 2001 WL 98075. There is a wife and an allegation of polluted water.

Result was generally affirmed in the House of Lords in Tomlinson v. Congleton Borough Council [2004] 1 AC 46.

For the HCA on diving cases see Vairy v Wyong Shire Council (2005) 221 ALR 711.
