Negligent certifiers should be brought to book

Powell-Smith, V.

Negligent certifiers should be brought to book - 1993 - Contract Journal 370(5950) 11 November 1993, 12(1) .

In view of the unsettled law on the recovery of economic loss for negligent misrepresentation, this article draws on Canadian experience where in "Norsk Steamship Co Ltd v Canadian National Railway Co" (1992) the courts allowed such recovery. Suggests this case may focus uncertainties following the contradictory decisions in "Anns v Merton" and "Murphy v Brentwood".
