Discusses "Barclays Bank plc v Fairclough Building Ltd" (See ABS49126) which considered whether the Law Reform (Contributory Negligence) Act 1945 applies to acts or omissions which are a breach of contract or whether it merely applied to a breach of duty of care in tort and whether the existence of a contract between the parties prevents the existence of a duty of tort and the related issue of recovery of pure economic loss.
