Subject: New Rylands v. Fletcher case

I am struggling to think of such a case in England post-Read v Lyons. There might be the odd fire case, but they are slightly different, I think.

Ah yes, but an alternative basis for the decision was "negligence/nuisance", both of which the judge considered required proof of culpability.

Q: what was the last case to be decided in favour of the claimant under Rylands v Fletcher where there was no fault on the defendant's part?
