Description
After substantially completing the work, Donnelly sued the Page School District*fn1 and O/H/G for its increased costs. Donnelly asserted three claims against O/H/G: negligence, negligent misrepresentation, and breach of the implied warranty that O/H/G's plans and specifications were accurate. O/H/G filed a motion to dismiss pursuant to Ariz.R.Civ.P. 12(b)(6) claiming that Donnelly's complaint failed to state a claim upon which relief could be granted. O/H/G supported its motion with arguments that the claims were barred (a) because all of O/H/G's actions were quasi-judicial in nature and deserving of immunity and (b) because there was no contractual privity between Donnelly and O/H/G. Without recitation of its reasoning, the trial court granted the motion to dismiss. Donnelly appealed to Division One of the Court of Appeals which reversed and remanded to the trial court.*fn2 Donnelly Construction Co. v. Obert/Hunt/Gilleland, 139 Ariz. 190, 677 P.2d 1298 (App.1983). O/H/G petitioned this Court to review the decision. Having found the holding of Division One in this matter to be in direct conflict with case law from Division Two, we accepted jurisdiction, pursuant to Ariz. Const. art. 6, § 5(3) and Ariz.R.Civ.App.P. 23, to resolve the conflict. Although we agree with Division One of the Court of Appeals that the trial court's granting of O/H/G's motion to dismiss was error, we vacate its opinion in the instant case.
