Charter Foods Inc. v. Derek Engineering of Ohio, Inc.
2009 U.S. App. LEXIS 115477 (E.D. KY. Dec. 11, 2009)

The District Court for the Eastern District of Kentucky held that a general contractor, who had performed excavation work on a site in accordance with the plans and specifications, could not be held liable for breach of contract as a matter of law, but could potentially be held liable to the owner for negligence if the contractor breached the duty of care it owed the owner.
