The Moving Defendants brought a motion for summary judgment to dismiss tort claims by Correct Building Corporation (CBC) arising from an aborted development project.
CBC, a related corporate entity to Correct Group Inc. (CGI), was not a party to the preliminary agreement with the City of Barrie but anticipated being awarded the construction contract.
The court applied the *Cooper v. Hobart* test for duty of care, finding no reasonable foreseeability of harm or sufficient proximity between CBC and the Moving Defendants.
The court also cited policy reasons against extending a duty of care to potential subcontractors.
The motion was granted, and CBC's claims against the Moving Defendants were dismissed.
