245 _aAbbott and another v Will Gannon and Smith Ltd
260 _c2005
520 _a[2005] EWCA (Civ) 198, 2 March 2005. Discusses whether the period of limitation begins when damage occurs or when the owners suffers economic loss. A appealed a decision that a claim bought by the respondent W in negligence was not statute barred. W had retained A to carry out remedial work on a large bay window. Four years later the lintel had moved and cracked the surrounding structure, leading to further works. W issued proceedings against A claiming cost of remedial works and consequential losses. The contract claim was statute barred. "Held": the appeal was dismissed. Pirelli General Cable Works Ltd v Oscar Faber and Partners (HL, [1983] 2 AC) upheld.
