To have its schools valued for insurance purposes, a school district hired a firm of surveyors to give it a statement of value. To prepare the report, the surveyors took the relevant measurements, which were then given to a statistical tabulating company that does calculations based on the measurements. Surveyors always use the services of such tabulating companies. An error was made in the calculations, so the surveyors' report was wrong. Therefore, the buildings were underinsured. When one of the school buildings was destroyed by fire, the school district did not get sufficient funds from the insurance company to rebuild it. On these facts, which of the following is true? (Assume that the school district has the ability to sue and be sued in court.)
◦ The statistical tabulating company cannot be sued by the school district.
◦ The school district can successfully sue the statistical tabulating company for negligent misstatement, causing economic loss.
◦ The insurance company can successfully sue the statistical tabulating company for nuisance.
◦ This action would most likely be commenced in Small Claims Court.
◦ The school district could successfully sue the surveyors for nuisance, for subcontracting the calculations.
