Summarises the case of Fosse Motor Engineers Ltd & Ors v Conde Nast and National Magazine Distributors Ltd & Anor [2008] EWHC 2037 (TCC), 20 August 2008 (see L145574). Clear evidence is needed to establish that a party is the probable, rather than possible, cause of a fire. It had been for a warehouse owner to prove on the balance of probabilities that a fire which destroyed its property had been caused by the negligence of a tenant's workers, which it had failed to do.
