The principles for damages over different heads which apply in other areas of law apply also in building disputes. Where there are several heads of damages, claims did not give rise to separate causes of action in respect of each head, and evidence of damage under each head need not necessarily be shown. There were not in this case separate acts or activities giving rise to the separate heads of claim.
