Thanks Philip. On the question of principle of remoteness and concurrent liability in contract and tort, it decides that the contractual test applies to both causes of action, with a dictum expressing the view that the contract test would apply even in a tort-only Hedley Byrne case. This is all plainly right (I and many others have banged this drum before) and a welcome clarification. Best, Adam

Dear All,


Those interested in remoteness of damage in the context of concurrent liability in contract and tort, may be interested in the decision of the Court of Appeal in Wellesley Partners LLP v Withers LLP [2015] EWCA Civ 1146, which was handed down last week.

Kind regards,
