Carlson v. Carlson
Facts:
The developer was held liable in other
litigation for damages suffered by the plaintiffs in that action as a result of
water intrusion into the condominium buildings cased by the actions or omissions
of the developer's subcontractors and material suppliers in Fairfax. In a total
of 56 counts, the developer asserted a cause of action against one or more of
the subcontractors sounding in negligence, fraud, breach of express warranties,
breach of implied warranties, breach of U.C.C. implied warranties, violation of
the Virginia Consumer Protection Act, implied contractual indemnity, and
equitable indemnity. In a previous letter opinion in the case, the
subcontractors' demurrers to the developer's negligence cause of action were
sustained. The court sustained most of the demurrers except as to the
developer's equitable indemnity claim, holding that the developer sufficiently
alleged that it was liable to the condominium association because of statutory
warranties proscribed in Virginia's Condominium Act and that the actual cause
of damages to the condominium association was caused by the subcontractors.

Holdings:
The Virginia Court made the following holding:
- Damages are awarded in tort actions to compensate the plaintiff for all losses suffered by reason of the defendant's breach of some duty imposed by law to protect the broad interests of social policy. Damages for breach of contract, on the other hand, are subject to the overriding principal of compensation. They are within the contemplation and control of the parties in framing their agreement. They are limited to those losses which are reasonably foreseeable when the contract is made. In determining whether a cause of action sounds in contract or tort, the source of the duty violated must be ascertained. If the cause of complaint be for an act of omission or nonfeasance which, without proof of a contract to do what was left undone, would not give rise to any cause of action because no duty apart from contract to do what is complained of exists, then the action is founded upon contract, and not upon tort. If, on the other hand, the relation of the plaintiff and the defendants be such that a duty arises from that relationship, irrespective of the contract, to take due care, and the defendants are negligent, then the actions is one of tort. A tort action cannot be based solely on a negligent breach of contract.
