Granted Appeal Summary

 

Case

 

WALLACE EDWARDS AND SONS, INC. v. SELECTIVE WAY INSURANCE COMPANY, ET AL. (Record Number 180902)

 

From 

 

The Circuit Court of Surry County; W. Sharrett, Judge.

 

Counsel

 

Walter J. Andrews, Michael S. Levine, Stuart A. Raphael, David M. Parker and Robert Tata (Hunton Andrews Kurth LLP) for appellant.

 

Calvin W. Fowler, Jr. and Harold E. Johnson (Williams Mullen) for appellee Selective Way Insurance Company; Douglas M. Palais and Ashley G. Moss (Vandeventer Black LLP) for appellees Manry-Rawls, LLC and MRC 2011, Inc.; Jeffrey H. Gray and Daniel T. Berger (Troutman Sanders LLP) for respondent Middle Peninsula Insurance Agency, Inc.

 

Assignments of Error

 

  1. The trial court erred in dismissing the fraud-in-the-inducement claims against Selective and Manry (Counts VII, XII, and XIII) because those claims are not barred by the economic loss/source-of-duty rule.

 

  1. The trial court erred in dismissing Edwards’s oral contract claim against MidPen (Count VIII) because Edwards alleged that the contract was formed and breached in 2015, not 2012.
