What is the scope of the claim in this per quod action?
Nova Scotia, Canada
The following excerpt is from Frank W. Hogg Trucking Ltd. v. Ward, 2001 NSSC 173 (CanLII):
The defendants further say that this per quod action is one of pure economic loss and will raise the question of remoteness of damages. They cite D'Amato v. Badger, 1996 CanLII 166 (SCC), [1996] 2 S.C.R. 1071 as an example of the type of action in which a company's claim for pure economic loss was not successful and addressed the question of remoteness of damages in the peculiar circumstances of that case.
