Heading: Did Judge Savell Err in Dismissing Sprucewood's Negligence Counterclaims?

Text: Sprucewood argues that Judge Savell erred in dismissing its claims against AHFC for negligently drafting an ambiguous contract. Interpreted in light of the extrinsic evidence of the parties' intent at the time of contracting, however, the contract was not ambiguous. [26] If the contract was not ambiguous, then AHFC cannot have draftednegligently or otherwisean ambiguous contract. Sprucewood does not allege that AHFC breached any duties to Sprucewood other than its alleged duty to prepare an unambiguous contract. Accordingly, Judge Savell did not err in granting summary judgment against Sprucewood on its negligence claims.
