Subject: New Rylands v. Fletcher case

The rule in Rylands v Fletcher lives on in English law, this time triggering liability for a fire that caught hold of combustible materials on D's land, and then escaped onto C's property: LMS International Ltd v Styrene Packaging and Insulation Ltd [2005] EWHC 2065 (TCC).
