Jackson v Horizon Holidays Ltd [1975] 1 WLR 1468 is an English contract law case, concerning the doctrine of Privity.

Some of the reasoning of Lord Denning MR was disapproved in Woodar Investment Development Ltd v Wimpey Construction UK Ltd,[1] which held that the decision is limited to a confined category of cases involving consumers.

Even then, they had to put the children in to sleep in the sitting room and the parents in the bedroom.

They were so uncomfortable at Brown's Hotel, that after a fortnight they moved to the Pegasus Reef Hotel.The judge followed Jarvis v Swans Tours Ltd and awarded damages of £1100 for distress.

The defendant appealed against the damages awarded to Mr Jackson's wife and children, who were not parties to the contract.

He quoted Lush LJ in Lloyd’s v Harper (1880) 16 ChD 290, 321 and said that although there were suggestions that he meant you can sue for a disappointed benefit to a third party if you are a trustee, he ‘did not think so… I think they should be accepted as correct, at any rate so long as the law forbids the third persons themselves from suing for damages.

Once recovered it will money had and received to their use.Lord Denning MR also held that the family might even, if desired, be joined as plaintiffs, that the initial award of £1100 was ‘about right’, and opined that other instances where a good claim may exist include a vicar contracting for a coach trip for the choir and a host booking a restaurant dinner for himself and his friends.
