1. This case arises out of a fire on the afternoon of 28 June 1992 at the Tai Tung Industrial Building in Kwai Chung. The fire broke out at a factory on the 4th floor. A large quantity of the water used to extinguish the fire flooded into a factory on the 1st floor damaging stock, machinery, moulds, office equipment and the flooring of the factory. The claim which resulted from this was considerable but not enormous. It was for $191,950.00. Unfortunately the costs have become enormous.
