Kaplan's F4 tip for Economic loss, are they referring to capital maintenance?

No! It comes under their heading for Torts!

e.g. Spartan Steel v Martin & Co case where pure economic loss not relating to personal injury/damaged property is unrecoverable through damages.

Ah! In that case, economic loss refers to financial loss - either money spent and not recovered or money which could have been expected to be received, and wasn't.

Normally, when a person suffers - either from tort or contract - the courts will award compensation in the form of damages.

Just very occasionally, the courts will consider loss of "pleasure" as in Jarvis v Swan Tours
