The Court held that the pre-purchase inspection reports were not a complete intervening cause and that justice and equity required the Council to retain a portion of liability; accordingly the first, fifth and sixth third parties were ordered to contribute 80% of the estimated repair costs for the units they reported on (Unit G, Unit A, Unit C respectively) under s17(1)(c) Law Reform Act 1936, with interest from the date of the Council's payment to the plaintiffs and costs on a 2B basis.
