Court's Ruling: The court found that the PGT and the employee owed a duty of care to Bradley. It was determined that they breached this duty by not taking adequate steps to secure Bradley's financial interests, particularly in failing to register the caveat.

Damages/Costs: The court awarded Bradley damages for the financial losses incurred as a result of the negligence. Unfortunately, the specific amount of damages/costs awarded was not detailed in the information reviewed.
