摘要

Selection Note: This wide-ranging judgment addresses negligence, contributory negligence, duty of care, causation and standard of care in relation to a replacement bridge project under British Columbia's Water Act that resulted in flooding damages to the plaintiffs' property and business interests.Natural resources-Waters and watercourses - Right to constructworks in watercourse - Public works-In aftermath of flood of creek, engineer appointed by defendant province under Water Users' Communities Act issued approvals for reconstruction of private bridge by its defendant owners, and channel restoration by defendant district, and both those works were completed - Similar flood occurred fifteen years later, causing significant damage to plaintiffs' property and houseboat business - Plaintiffs included V Ltd., W Ltd., and individual houseboat owners (IHOs), and defendants included province, district, and private property owners (Ms) - Plaintiffs brought successful action against defendants as it was found that engineer's words and actions allowed bridge owners to assume that specified 0.6 metre height increase was acceptable height, without further involvement by qualified professional engineer - Engineer fell below standard of care by being influenced by other considerations to influence and failing to make sure that others understood risks and if professional engineer had been engaged by owners as was initially specified as condition of approval, bridge would have built at higher height - Province was not statutorily protected from liability for engineer's negligence -Plaintiffs, district, province, and Ms appealed - Plaintiffs appeal allowed in part; district's appeal allowed in part; province's appeal allowed; Ms' appeal dismissed - Even though judge correctly set out purpose of Act, he did not refer to or give consideration to that purpose when undertaking his proximity analysis - This failure to consider purpose of Act led him to erroneously read private and protective purpose into Act - Judge erred in his approach to proximity by First not considering proximity by way of two-stage analysis described in authorities - Second, judge conflated positions of plaintiffs and regulated parties and relied on dealings between engineer (regulator), district and Ms as sufficient to establish relationship of proximity between province and plaintiff -Net result of this erroneous approach was to create broad private law duty of care owed to individual members of public (plaintiffs) even though purpose of Act was for good of public as whole.
