Abstract

To what extent, if any, a party could recover for pure economic loss in these circumstances was the issue that confronted the Judicial Committee of the Privy Council in Candlewood Navigation Corporation Ltd v. Mitsui Osk Lines Ltd and Another6 and the High Court some nine years earlier in Caltex Oil (Australia) Pty Ltd v. The Dredge "Willemstad".1 In order to appreciate the significance of the decision in Candlewood it is necessary to consider it in the light of the earlier High Court pronouncements in Caltex which seemed to have brought about a fundamental change in the law.
