520			_aORC 16 July 1987. A claim for damages by contractors (S) of an office block, from Pilkingtons (P), manufacturers and suppliers of double glazing units, for alleged negligence . The trial was on a preliminary issue; `Did P as specified supplier owe S a duty to take reasonable care to avoid defects in the units which (it was assumed but not proved) had caused S economic loss ?` The loss alleged was the employer`s withholding of money which S would otherwise have been entitled to receive, and the interest on the amount. In reaching his decision, the judge followed Junior Books Ltd v Veitchi Co Ltd (See Abstract 30178), and ruled that a subcontract supplier owes a main contractor a duty of care so as to avoid causing him pure financial loss.
