Description
This session is presented by Mr Shaun McElwaine SC in which he considers what is a claim for pure economic loss? When is a claim for pure economic loss properly characterised as one for the loss of a chance? And what is the causation requirement for such claims having regard to sections 13 and 14 of the Civil Liability Act 2002? During this discussion, Mr McElwaine SC directs detailed attention to the cases of Sellars v Adelaide Petroleum NLCLR 332 and to Tabet v Gett CLR 537.
