Wellesley Partners Llp v Withers Llp: CA 11 Nov 2015

Appeals by both parties in a professional negligence action, and from the consequent order. The appeals raised issues about the appropriate rule for remoteness of damage where a claimant has concurrent causes of action for pecuniary loss in tort and in contract, and about the application of the ‘loss of a chance’ principle to the assessment of damages.
