NEGLIGENCE
Awaiting JudgmentCase summary:1. Is loss that is otherwise recoverable in the tort of negligence irrecoverable if it is incurred (i) without an enforceable legal obligation to do so, and (ii) in respect of property in which the claimant has no proprietary interest, because such loss is voluntarily incurred, and that means it falls outside the scope of the defendant’s duty of care and/or is too remote? 2. Do the retrospective extended limitation periods provided for by section 135 of the Building Safety Act 2022 apply to other claims (eg in the tort of negligence) which are dependent on the time-bar applicable to claims under section 1 of the Defective Premises Act 1972 (“DPA”) 3. Does section 1(1)(a) of the DPA apply only to purchasers of properties, or does it also apply to property developers? 4. Is the respondent entitled to bring a contribution claim against the appellant under section 1 of the Civil Liability (Contribution) Act 1978 when there has been no judgment or settlement between the respondent and any third party and no third party has ever asserted any claim against the respondent?
