Lloyd v. Francis Co Ltd
Facts:
In selling insurance to the owners who were in
the process of building their house in Fairfax, the agent promised the owners
that while the house was under construction it would be covered for the full
replacement cost. The agent stated she would be personally liable for any
excess. After the house burned down, the insurance carrier refused to pay the
replacement cost. The agent demurred on the ground that the motion for judgment
failed to state a cause of action. The court noted that the motion for judgment
alleged the breach of a separate contract made between the owners and the agent
of the insurance carrier, made in her capacity as an individual, but the owners
failed to allege consideration. Absent consideration, there was no enforceable
contract and, thus, no cause of action. Since the agent's duty to the owners
arose solely from the owners' contract with the insurance carrier, the economic
loss rule barred recovery and the demurrer could be sustained for failure to
state a cause of action. Since the owners' motion alleging constructive fraud
failed to clearly allege the existence of a common law duty, independent of any
contract, that cause of action could not stand.

Holdings:
The Virginia Court made the following holding:
- Care should be used that the elements of contract and breach are properly alleged, for if these elements are not stated, the motion for judgment is insufficient. The essential elements of a cause of action for breach of contract are (1) a legal obligation of the defendant to the plaintiff; (2) a violation or breach of that duty or right; and (3) consequential injury or damage to the plaintiff. A demurrer will be overruled where the motion for judgment alleges and provides factual support for a distinct promise, a valuable consideration, a breach of that promise, and damages.
