What are some cases where a plaintiff was able to sue for damages for personal injury or direct injury to property?
British Columbia, Canada
The following excerpt is from Lau Bat Logging Co. Ltd. v. B.C., 1986 CanLII 1017 (BC CA):
The other case referred to was Spry v. Dwyer [supra]. Again in that case there was no physical injury to property. It was an action against solicitors for damages for economic loss arising out of professional negligence. The court concluded that it could not be said there was any personal injury or direct injury to property as required by the section. I see nothing in that decision to suggest that the provisions with which we are dealing is limited in the manner suggested by the chambers judge.
