Legal matters: The difference between discrete information and broader advice

Article Abstract:

The Lobb Partnership, an architect group, has been involved in a dispute with Aintree Racecourse. An arbitrator found that Aintree was deprived of revenue because the replacement stand designed by Lobb failed to have the standing capacity that Aintree wanted. Nevertheless a judge ruled partly in favor of Lobb in that it gave information instead of advice, limiting the amount of damages placed on the architect group.
