The scope of professional liability could be circumscribed by limiting the duty of care to persons in a contractual relationship with the professional or to a restricted group of persons who the professional actually knew would use and rely on the information provided by him or her in connection with a particular transaction or transactions.
L’étendue de la responsabilité professionnelle pourrait être limitée à l’obligation de diligence due aux cocontractants ou aux personnes censées se servir de l’information pour certaines transactions.
