The court held that RCCs undertaking did not arise because the condition of payment failed when the $2 million cheque was dishonoured on the completion date; LHKs negligence was established and the 28-month loss of rent was a foreseeable consequence of that negligence and therefore recoverable; mitigation and specific deductions relied on by LHK were not pleaded or proved and could not be advanced on appeal; the judges indemnity costs order was within discretionary bounds and would not be disturbed.
