520			_aDiscusses the decision in D & F Estates Ltd v The Church Commissioners and Others, HL 14 July 1988, see Abstract 39482. Concentrates on the implications for architects . A dispute arose after the discovery that plaster work in a flat proved to be defect ive. The flat owners sued the main contractor; the plastering was carried out by an independent subcontractor. It was held that the main contractor did not owe a duty of care to future occupiers of the flat to supervise the work of independent subcontractors. The cost of repairing the plaster was economic loss and consequently the builder was not liable in negligence .
