Brian is given, by his brother Paul, a new ‘Quality at Home’ brand slow cooker from Best Goods Ltd. Brian uses it for the first time without any problems. The second time he uses the slow cooker, he puts it on as per the manufacturer’s instructions and leaves his home to visit a friend. When he returns, the slow cooker is on fire, which destroys the slow cooker, some kitchen utensils and the kitchen units. The fire also badly damages the computer he uses for his business and his flat screen television (worth over £600) both of which had been on the kitchen units. The kitchen will need redecorating due to the smoke damage from the fire.

Advise Brian whether he can bring an action and what he can claim for:

1. What would brain need to prove if claim based in tort of negligence

2. What can brain claim for under the CPA 1987 what property damage can he claim?
