- Court of Appeal
Appeal dismissed because the court found objectively that the council letters could not reasonably have induced the asserted reliance, any alleged reliance losses occurred at the time expenditure was incurred in 1995–1997 (so the 2006 proceeding was time-barred), and the amended pleading failed to allege recoverable tortious loss with sufficient particularity (expectation losses not recoverable in negligent misstatement).
