The plaintiffs, a precast concrete manufacturer and its sales agent, sued an engineering company and its principal for breach of contract and negligence arising from delayed and error-filled engineering drawings for a parking garage project.
The court found the defendants liable in both contract and tort for pure economic loss.
The court admitted subcontractor invoices as business records under the principled approach to hearsay to prove damages.
The defendants' third-party claim against their insurers was partially allowed, with the court allocating damages between covered errors and excluded delays.
