The solicitors' failure to advise on the head lease's true renewal and covenanting terms caused the plaintiff to proceed with a transaction he would have avoided; loss measured by wasted expenditure is recoverable in the sum $100,559 plus general damages $7,500 and interest on the $20,000 contribution from 3 April 2001 to 1 December 2003; loss of chance and speculative capital gains claims were too remote and not recoverable.
