520			_aHL 27 July 2000. Building contractor, A, entered into a contract with the employer, P, for the construction of an office block and a car park on a site owned by another company in the same group of companies as P. A also entered into a duty of care deed with the owner of the site. The deed was expressly assignable by the owner to its successors in title. Serious defects were found in the building and P served notice of arbitration claiming damages for defective work and delay. Arbitrator rejected A's objection that P, having suffered no loss, was not entitled to recover substantial damages under the contract and made an interim award. Judge reversed the ruling and allowed A's appeal. CA allowed P's appeal and restored the arbitrator's decision. A appealed. Appeal allowed.
