The measure of damages for a negligent survey was either the excess paid, or the diminution of value. The question of the uncertainty of what decisions would have been taken had further surveys been made was of no significance. The wrongly surveyed building, being in this case a main building rather than an outbuilding, damages were also awarded for hire of storage space.
