Stanbury v Mayor and Burgesses of London Borough of Lambeth: CA 5 Dec 1997

The claimant had succeeded in his claim for damages against the council following their failure to comply with their obligations of repair under the 1985 Act. The council appealed an award of pounds 1,500 for chattels damaged by the damp.
Held: ‘I, for my part, would think it perfectly absurd in a case like this for one single further penny piece of public funds to be expended on its determination.’
