Prerequisite to claiming professional negligence
 

Is this Board here to protect the largest employer of design services in the State or the public?

Virginia law is clear that contracts give rise to professional duties, and privity of contract is a prerequisite to claiming professional negligence.   McConnell v. Servinsky Engineering, PLLC, Case No. 2:13 CV 00048 (USDC W.D. Va. May 20, 2014)
