Issue of some importance about the law on the remoteness of damage in cases of breach of contract. Can a developer of land, whose development scheme is delayed in its implementation by the failure of a consulting engineer to perform tasks which he has contracted to perform by an agreed date, recover damages for the loss he suffers thereby from a diminution in the market value of the development which occurs during the period for which its completion is delayed?
