520			_aCA 30 July 1991. It was held that damages for a negligent survey should be based, not on the cost of repairs but on diminution in value of the property because the defects, since the owner, on discovering the defects had the choice to sell or repair. Also, the second appeal that the award for distress was excessive and wrong in law was allowed. It was held that a contract with a surveyor for a survey a claim for recovery of damages for mental distress was not allowed, only damages for physical discomfort and inconvenience.
