Negligence in valuations and surveys

Summary

The defendant surveyor, in representing a tenant at a rent review, negligently failed to make proper representations to the independent expert, with the result that the rent was fixed at a very high level. It was held that the tenant's damages should be based on the difference in capital value between a lease at the rent fixed by the independent expert and a lease at the rent that would have been fixed if proper representations had been made.
