Subject: contributory negligence and debt

Sneak preview of the next Prof Neg Law Reports: the obvious point that contributory negligence is irrelevant to a claim in debt. An everyday tale of a would-be Irish property millionaire who, when sued by his bank (or rather its assignee) for the money it had lent to him, said his repayment should be reduced because the bank had been very stupid to lend him the money in the first place. Nice try.

See Launceston Property Finance v Walls [2018] IEHC 610; [2019] P.N.L.R. 11.
