The applicant's defences of act of God, inevitable accident, latent defect and res ipsa loquitur failed; appeal dismissed with costs.
  • Tort — negligence — defences: act of God, inevitable accident, latent defect, res ipsa loquitur — burden of proof shifts to defendant to rebut inference of negligence; pleadings — failure to object to unpleaded evidence may permit its consideration; damages — unchallenged evidence of business loss may suffice
