B retained H as a consulting engineer and a third party (X) was employed by A to issue all necessary certificates. Resrvoir was found to be defective and B agreed to construct a new one at its own expense. B then sued H who in turn claimed contribution from X. X appealed. "Held" that `the same damage` referred to in the Civil Liability (Contribution) Act 1978 s1 was the damage suffered by the person to whom the party seeking contribution was liable. Accordingly, H had no right to contribution from X. Appeal allowed.
