JUDGMENT

[1] The appeal before us turns on the decision of the Courts below which found liability against the appellant for negligence premised upon the breach of non-delegable duty of care of the respondent.

[2] Leave to appeal was granted by this Court to the appellant upon the following questions of law:

"Question 1: Whether as a matter of policy, routine residential construction work carried out by a homeowner through its independent contractors is so extraordinarily hazardous as to impose a non-delegable duty of care on the homeowner to a public utilities company, namely TNB for the negligence of those independent contractors?

Question 2: If the answer to the 1st question is in the negative, whether there is a special relationship between the homeowner and TNB which satisfies the criteria of the "2nd category" described in Woodland v. Essex County Council [2014] 1 All ER 482 such as to impose a non-delegable duty of care on the homeowner in respect of the negligence of its independent contractors?
