Dear all,

List members may be interested in a recent post on Opinions on High, the High Court blog, on the Brookfield case (involving pure economic loss for latent defects in a building):

Among other things, the post discusses the way in which the court deals with the intersection between tort, contract and statutory schemes, comparative cases in other jurisdictions and the wider issues of pure economic loss.

Kind regards,

Katy
