The Appellant challenged a finding that the defendants were not liable to them in respect of water charges. There had been an agreement with a previous undertaker whereby liability was taken by the estate on which the properties were located. There had been new developments and extensions of the private and public supplies. The supplier said that original agreement had been varied.
Held: The company had an enforceable duty to provide water to the houses. The original agreement was discharged, and the appeal allowed.
