- stating that “if the purchaser buys goods which turn out to be below its expectations, its remedy should be against the person from whom it bought the goods, based upon the contract with that person”
- applying the economic loss rule to bar a negligence claim against an architect because the architect’s responsibility originated with the contract
- finding “the plaintiff’s theory that the defendant architectural firm was negligent in its design of the structure” concerned the quality, rather than the safety, of the building and consequently was more appropriately resolved through contract law
- court held plaintiffs complaint against architect for negligent design was barred by economic loss doctrine where theory that architect was negligent in its design concerned the quality of the building and was a matter more appropriately resolved under contract law
