    Solution

    It was held that losses can be claimed if it can be reasonably viewed to have been the outcome of the defendant’s actions and therefore the Court ruled out that the defendant will not be liable to compensate the plaintiff for his losses on grounds that the plaintiff had not reasonably foreseen the consequences of the delay caused by the defendant.
