In Ruxley Electronics and Construction Ltd v Forsyth [1996] AC 344, their Lordships stated that the cost of cure and diminution in value were not the only available mechanisms of assessing the expectation interest and the court was not confined to opting for one or the other. Where [...]. Therefore, the judge's finding that the owner's loss did not extend to the cost of reinstatement, as it would be unreasonable to incur the cost of demolishing the existing pool and building a new and deeper one, would be upheld. Instead, the award of £2,500 was made for loss of amenity.
