Harbutt's "Plasticine" Ltd v Wayne Tank and Pump Co Ltd [1970] is an English contract law case involving the quantum of damages and the concept of fundamental breach.[1] It was heard in the Court of Appeal by Lord Denning MR, Widgery LJ and Cross LJ.[2]
The concept of fundamental breach has not proved to be durable, and that aspect of this case was disapproved in the House of Lords' decision in Photoproductions v Securicor.[3]
