The plaintiff failed to prove that the landlord knew or ought to have foreseen the latent risk in the pipe/valve or that the landlord acted unreasonably in entrusting renovation works; expert evidence did not establish installation date or that the landlord should have detected the defect; accordingly the landlord owed no actionable breach and is not liable. The plaintiff was not contributorily negligent. The third party claim need not be considered given dismissal of the primary claim.
