The Law of Property Damage
The only practitioner's guide to the law of property damage, it is a “must have” for anyone practising in property damage claims.

This text provides comprehensive, up-to-date analysis of the legal principles and practical concerns in fire, gas, natural hazards, escape of water, subsidence, party walls and pollution claims and excellent, learned examination of claims under the Defective Premises Act and the Consumer Protection Act.

The book cements its unique utility by analysing, over three additional and separate chapters, the general principles of contract law, tortious liability and insurance law as they relate and are relevant to property damage claims. This allows practitioners, judges, academics and students to easily and efficiently come to grips with the idiosyncrasies of property damage law but also to understand how the general principles of contract, tort and insurance law relate and interact with property damage claims. Written as a handbook for practitioners, it also offers practical, user-friendly guidance for conducting property damage litigation.

About the Author

2 Temple Gardens are highly respected for property damage work, and as well as handling major cases, also offer regular training seminars to solicitors and insurance industry professionals. The set is instructed in a broad range of property damage work handling everything from major fire and flood cases to challenging construction disputes and matters concerning damage arising from defective products.
The contributing barristers at 2 Temple Gardens (2TG) are expert in all types of property damage work, including cases originating from floods and extreme weather, fires, explosions, impact and subsidence. They are instructed in everything from the Grenfell Inquiry to complex litigation arising out of multi-national construction, energy and utility projects, to disputes arising from defective products and liability claims following domestic tree root damage.


With a keen understanding of the highly technical evidence required and an appreciation of the finer and more idiosyncratic issues of law which arise, 2 Temple Gardens has appeared in most of the leading property damage cases. The set is a leader in knowledge sharing: hosting popular knowledge and training sessions for solicitors and insurance professionals, the set regularly contributes to legal and industry publications on the subject.
