NEGLIGENCE
Awaiting JudgmentCase summary:This appeal concerns how liability is allocated in circumstances where, as a result of allegedly negligent work undertaken by a consultant (the appellant), a property developer (the respondent) carries out remedial work on properties it no longer owns and in respect of defects for which it cannot be held liable due to the expiry of applicable limitation periods. Specifically, the appeal raises the following questions: 1. In the circumstances set out above, has the respondent suffered actionable and recoverable damage that falls within the duty of care owed to it by the appellant? 2. Do the retrospective extended limitation periods provided for by section 135 of the Building Safety Act 2022 apply (i) in the circumstances set out above, and (ii) to claims brought before section 135 came into force and are the subject of pending proceedings? 3. Does section 1(1)(a) of the Defective Premises Act 1972 apply only to purchasers of properties, or does it also apply to commercial developers? 4. Is the respondent entitled to bring a contribution claim against the appellant under section 1 of the Civil Liability (Contribution) Act 1978 notwithstanding that (i) there has been no judgment or settlement between the respondent and any third party, and (ii) no third party has asserted any claim against the respondent?
