DAMAGES

Veitch v Avery [2007] EWCA Civ 711, [2007] All ER (D) 177 (Jul)

There is no hard and fast rule in negligence cases that the measure of the loss is to always be identified by reference to, and quantified as at, the date of the breach of duty. It turns on the facts and the application to them of common-sense, an essentially evaluative role for the judge of first instance.
