BPE Solicitors v Hughes-Holland (in substitution for Gabriel) [2017] UKSC 21

Mr Gabriel went bankrupt because of a bad investment but not many things went right for him along the way. His 'friend' Mr Little tricked him into thinking the money would be used as part of a development project and his solicitor did not properly inform him and drew up incorrect paperwork. In this case for negligence the Supreme Court examined the but-for test and in particular the so-called SAAMCO cap.
