ABSTRACT
Iambic plc owns some premises and decides to have the rather old fashioned central heating system replaced with a modern, efficient system. It engages Lead Ltd to carry out this work and Lead Ltd sends two plumbers to Iambic’s premises. While the plumbers are working, one of them carelessly leaves a blowlamp running and the partition to an office catches fire. Jenny, who is working in the office, is burnt. Peter, who is an employee of Iambic plc, carelessly leaves a screwdriver on the floor of another office, and Katherine trips over it and twists her leg. In the ensuing commotion caused by these two accidents, an unknown thief enters the premises and steals a sheepskin coat belonging to Richard, another employee of Iambic plc. Richard kept his coat in a cupboard which was not provided with a lock.
