A. E. Investment Corporation, Respondent v. Link Builders, Inc., Defendant: DeQuardo, Robinson, Crouch &…

Summary

The court held that an architect may be liable in negligence to a third party lacking contractual privity when negligent design or supervision foreseeably causes harm and is a substantial factor in producing it. The complaint adequately alleged negligence and economic loss, but the court left public-policy limitations on recovery for economic loss for determination after development of a factual record. The order overruling the demurrer was affirmed.
