The Narkles are very successful watermelon farmers in Broome, Western Australia. Three months ago, their neighbours, the Eberts, who live 10 kilometres away, unknowingly purchased diseased watermelon seeds from a reputable supplier in the region, resulting in the growth of a crop with bacterial fruit blotch. The Narkles are now unable to export their watermelons to their largest clien in South Australia, due to a South Australian legislative prohibition on the importation of watermelons grown within a 20km radius of a disease outbreak. As a result, the Narkles suffer significant financial loss. Using the IRAC method under both common law and the Civil Liability Act 2002 has the supplier of watermelon seeds breached the duty of care owed to the Narkles?
