Di Sisto v Skyworld

The plaintiffs, Di Sisto, sued the defendant, Skyworld, for failing to make contracts for the sale of real estate interdependent, which led to a loss. The dispute was heard in the Supreme Court of New South Wales. The plaintiffs claimed damages for the loss they incurred due to the defendant's negligence. The defendant argued that the loss was not directly caused by their failure to make the contracts interdependent, and therefore, they should not be held liable.

The court had to determine whether the defendant's failure to make the contracts interdependent was a breach of contract, and if so, whether it was the proximate cause of the loss suffered by the plaintiffs. The court considered whether the loss was a foreseeable consequence of the breach and whether the loss could have been avoided if the contracts had been made interdependent. The court also had to assess the amount of damages that the plaintiffs were entitled to recover.

The court found that the defendant's failure to make the contracts interdependent was a breach of contract. The court held that the breach was the proximate cause of the loss suffered by the plaintiffs, as the loss was a foreseeable consequence of the breach, and the loss could have been avoided if the contracts had been made interdependent. The court assessed the amount of damages that the plaintiffs were entitled to recover, taking into account the loss suffered by the plaintiffs and the defendant's contribution to the loss. The court awarded the plaintiffs damages in the amount of $500,000.
