520 _aChD 10 December 1991. The plaintiffs (G) purchased a 10-year underlease, unaware of a redevelopment break clause contained in the headlease, despite having applied to the vendor`s solicitor (second defendant). When the clause was invoked by the headlessors, G sued R and solicitors for damages under the Misrepresentation Act 1967, and for negligence. At issue in the claim was whether a seller`s solicitor owes a duty of care to the buyer. It was "held" that it was not so, and arguments that G`s claim was a special case were rejected. Case dismissed.
