520			_aHL, 26 July 1990. Considers whether damages for economic loss stemming from approval of a defective design can be recovered from the relevant local authority. This was an appeal from CA decision (Abs42620, 21 December 1999) that B owed a duty of care to M for defects caused by inadequate foundations, which had not been discharged by obtaining and acting on the advice of consulting engineers. "Held": there is no liability in tort for the cost of averting a danger, whether of not the damage poses a threat to safety or health. "Anns and others v Merton LBC" (Abs22142, 12 May 1977) overturned.
