2009Implicit in the distinction is the doctrine that a tort duty of care protects against the risk of accidental harm and a contractual duty preserves the satisfaction of consensual obligations. [ Id. at 627-28 , 695 A. 2d 264 (citations omitted).] Further addressing the policy reasons for the distinction, the Court considered that: Relevant to the distinction are "the relative bargaining power of the parties and the allocation of the loss to the better risk-bearer in a modern marketing system." Perfect parity is not required for a finding of substantially equal bargaining power.
