Heading: Subsoil Conditions

Text: 24 Ramey also alleges that Boyle negligently investigated and misrepresented the subsoil conditions at the construction site. The court found that Boyle made no representations that the subsoil conditions at the hotel site were suitable. The subsoil reports that allegedly were negligently prepared were not prepared by Boyle and were not part of the contract documents. The court also determined that Ramey was not justified in relying on the subsoil reports. Further, the court found that Ramey was obligated under the terms of the contract to correct unforeseen soil conditions, and that the contract contained provisions for adjusting payments accordingly. Under these circumstances, the court did not err in finding no liability on Boyle's part for any damages Ramey incurred because of unforeseen subsoil conditions. 25
