Question 4

Fro Doe asks his friend Bill Bow, P. Eng, to investigate the soil on a piece of land he owns. The property is on the way to Bow’s cottage, so Bow agrees, and has a quick glance on his way there one weekend. Bow then sent a letter to Doe saying “On thorough inspection of the soil in question, the piece of land looks good. This advice is without responsibility to any third party.” Later, Sam Wise acquires the land from Doe, and based on Bow’s soils report attempts to construct a house there. Mid-construction, the foundation cracks due to wholly unsuitable soil for building, and the project has to be abandoned. As a result, Wise seeks tort damages from Bow for the value of the house. Which of the following statements are true?
a) Wise will be successful in a claim against Bow, because Bow as a P. Eng. implicitly owes everyone who uses his advice a duty of care, breached this by his negligent inspection, and reliance on this breach caused financial injury to Wise.
b) If it had been Doe instead of Wise constructing the house based on the soils report, he would be successful in a claim against Bow.
c) Wise would not be successful in a claim against Bow, because Bow had no contract with Wise.
d) Wise would not be successful in a claim against Bow, because Bow received no money for his services.
