LORD JUSTICE MOORE-BICK LORD JUSTICE McFARLANE and LORD JUSTICE CHRISTOPHER CLARKE ____________________
Mr. Andrew Singer (instructed by Paul Kelly) for the appellant Mr. Jonathan Mitchell (instructed by Hill Dickinson LLP) for the respondent Hearing date : 2nd April 2014 ____________________
a conclusion which he considered was supported by the decision in The 'Wagon Mound' (No. 2) . The historical relationship between the law of nuisance and the rule in Rylands v Fletcher led Lord Goff to conclude that foreseeability of damage is a prerequisite to the recovery of damages under that rule and that the rule in Rylands v Fletcher is to be understood as extending the law of nuisance to cases of isolated escape.
