Meaning of ‘contribution’

In a multi-party appeal concerning building work at a hospital, the House of Lords re-emphasised the meaning of ‘contribution’ under the Civil Liability (Contribution) Act 1978. They reaffirmed that contribution was limited to that of any other person in respect of ‘the same damage’, those words bearing their natural meaning with no room for expansion to cover ‘damage’ that was not ‘the same’.
