Abstract
The civil action for Breach of Statutory Duty (BSD) is most often invoked in cases of personal injury, often in the industrial context. But there is a long history of BSD actions being used to protect economic interests, in the form of compensation for pure economic loss, and dealing with damage to specific property. This paper will explore the varying ways in which the BSD action has developed to protect economic interests, taking into account principles relating to specific so-called “statutory torts” as well as the general common law action based on implied Parliamentary intention.
