Aldgate Construction Company Limited v Unibar Plumbing & Heating Limited [electronic resource] - 2010

[2010] EWHC 1063 (TCC), 14 May 2010. Claimant property developer A claimed damages against defendant plumbing and heating firm U whose employee negligently caused a fire in one of A's properties. A sought compensation from U for loss of profits on the basis that delay in receipt of funds from the sale of the property prevented A from purchasing similar sites in a favourable market in the interim period. "Held": A was due £400 000 after delays to its business plan. U's denial of liability and refusal to compensate exacerbated these losses.
