FACT : In this case, the claimants had hired out the defendant's concert hall
for four days at the price of £100 each day. After the contract was entered
into, but before the day of rental began, the hall was destroyed by fire. The
claimant could no longer host their concerts, and as a result lost a
significant amount of money. The claiming argued that the defendant
should account for those losses, whilst the claimant argued that they could
not be liable for an accidental destruction of the concert hall.
ISSUE:

circumstances, the Contract
loss which the PL is

Fibrosa Spolka v Fairbairn [1943]
