 Cambridge Water Co Ltd v Eastern Counties Leather plc

Cambridge Water Co Ltd v Eastern Counties Leather plc [1994] 1 All ER 53 is a case in English tort law that established the principle that claims under nuisance and "Rylands v Fletcher" must include a requirement that the damage be foreseeable; it also suggested that "Rylands" was a sub-set of nuisance rather than an independent tort, a debate eventually laid to rest in "Transco plc v Stockport Metropolitan Borough Council".The Cambridge Water Company were a company responsible for providing potable water to the inhabitants of Cambridge and the surrounding areas.
