Hamilton and Stebbings Inc v Allied Domecq Plc: OHCS 30 Mar 2001

As a result of section 10(1) of the 1985 Act, there was no need to enter into the field of Hedley Byrne type ‘special relationships’ and whether a duty of care was owed: the statute provided the remedy, and its practical effect was that one contracting party had a duty to the other not to make negligent misrepresentations which induced the other to contract.
