What are the exceptions to the general rule on privity? | Agency, covenant, Jackson, Shanklin, RoTPA 1999 |
Jackson v Horizon Holidays | 2nd party may receive losses that reflect 3rd party's losses - unfair to limit damages to Mr Jackson alone |

Tulk v Moxhay | Covenant is exception - previous owner able to sue |
Shankin Pier v Detel | (7 year) guarantee is a 'collateral contract' allowing them to sue |
