Faire J held the 15 January 2003 letter did not objectively disclose circumstances which a reasonable property inspection consultant could have opined may give rise to a claim and therefore was not valid notification under clause 5.2; however the High Court (Allan J) granted leave to appeal to the Court of Appeal because there is a seriously arguable case (given the Hunn Report and legislative response and the similarity to Rothschild) and the public/private importance outweighed delay and expense.
