An investor who wanted to build a duplex asked the city zoning officer whether Lot A of Plan 16, known as 1 Street, was zoned for a single-family house or a duplex. The zoning officer was distracted by a news report on the radio and accidentally gave the investor a printed copy of the zoning for the wrong lot that said "duplex," although 1 Street was only zoned for single-family houses. After the investor began building a duplex, the city stopped him for building contrary to the zoning by-laws. He lost $50 000. On these facts (assuming all can be proven), which of the following is true?
◦ The cause of action most likely to be taken by the investor in this case is "deceit."
◦ A person can be sued only for actions that cause physical injury.
◦ The zoning officer can be sued even though the investor did not have a contract with him (i.e., he didn't pay for the information).
◦ The employer of the zoning officer could not be sued since the employer did no wrong.
◦ The zoning officer could not be sued successfully since he had no intention of hurting anyone; his error was an accident.
