How was Negligence the main cause?

Negligence was the major cause:

A claim for damages can only succeed when there has been damage or loss to the claimant.

Illustrations:

• Personal injury

• Damage to property

• Financial loss directly connected to any of the above

• Pure financial loss is highly improbable to be recovered, although there are exceptions for example, Hedley Byrne and Company Ltd verses Heller and Partners Ltd in 1963.

Negligence should be shown to be caused through the defendant and not more remote.
