Neatly summed up by Lord Scarman, thus:

Their lordships do not believe that there is anything to the advantage of the law’s development in searching for a liability in tort where the parties are in a contractual relationship.

Sadly, overruled by Henderson v Merrett.

A good chap, that Lord Scarman.
