520 _aDescribes how negligence claims, once common for multi-party actions, may still be used in cases where the law will still impose a duty of care for both economic and physical loss. Multi-party actions for negligence had been common in the 1970s and 1980s but were stemmed by the ruling in "Murphy". Using cases since the 1990s, the article shows that a duty of care for economic loss has become difficult and complex but that duty of care for physical loss is more easily established, at least where the wrongdoer is a builder - but such claims are few.
