Bpg Inspection, LLC v. Jessique Omstead (Ga. Ct. App. 2023). “In her effort to align this case with Langley, plaintiff points to a number of sources for defendants’ extracontractual duties, including Section 324A of the Restatement of Torts (Second) and OCGA § 8-3-331 et seq. These arguments are unavailing, as they focus on the wrong issue.”
