Judgement for the case Nitrigin Eireann v Inco

Table Of Contents

  • Defendant supplied faulty pipes to Plaintiff. The first cracking in the pipes merely required Plaintiff to spend money on repair. The second cracking damaged Plaintiff’s other property.

  • Plaintiff sued Defendant for both instances.

May J

  • Held that the original cracking was purely for the cost of repair and therefore economic loss which, other than in special circumstances (see week 3) was not recoverable in negligence.

  • However the second cracking led to damage of property and could therefore go ahead.
