Del аnd Ned аre lоngtime friends. They met fоr dinner tо celebrаte Del’s recent sale of his successful business. Del said he was looking for an opportunity to re-invest the sales proceeds. Because he had bad experiences with auto repair services in their town, Ned suggested that Del purchase a repair shop that was for sale by its retiring owner. Ned and Del had shared a passion for restoring classic cars in the past and they both owned expensive vehicles that needed specially-skilled maintenance. Del said, “That sounds like a great idea. Why don’t you talk to the owner and see how much he wants?” A few days later, Ned met Del and relayed the shop owner’s asking price of $2 million. Del replied that he’d be willing to pay $1.5 million on condition that Ned agreed to manage the service operations of the shop while Del handled the financial and promotional concerns. The shop owner agreed and a few days later he exchanged the keys to the shop for Del’s cash. Del handed the keys to Ned and said, “OK, my friend, let’s start making money fixing cars!” Shortly thereafter, Del hung a giant banner over the shop entrance that read, “Grand Opening! Welcome to Ned’s & Del’s Elite Auto Service.” Ned stopped selling houses for a living and began managing the repair shop full time. He hired a cashier and some repair technicians. Del handled the banking and bookkeeping and paid Ned $5000 per week with a promise of “more to come, if we continue to do well. I’m sure you can do that if you provide top-tier service and only use the best repair parts that money can buy… it’s all about our reputation.” Ned’s tasks included meeting with repair customers, writing up their service orders, quoting fees for parts and repairs, ordering replacement parts from outside suppliers as needed, and supervising the technicians. On July 1st, Pam brought her luxury car to Ned, complaining of problems with the car’s steering. Ned quoted a price for parts and service and promised to have the car ready the next morning. As with all other customers, Ned wanted to promote the shop as Pam’s go-to for auto repairs and maintenance. Ned learned that the repairs needed were more extensive than anticipated and his regular supplier for steering parts could not provide those needed to complete the repairs by the next morning. Ned found a less reputDel supplier who could deliver the required parts on time. The next morning, Pam picked her car and paid the repair bill. On July 10th, the newly serviced steering system failed in Pam’s car while driving on the freeway. She lost control of the car. It was demolished and Pam was severely injured. As part of the investigation into the accident, it was determined that the new steering system was defective. Assume Pam can state a prima facie case of negligence against Ned. On what theory or theories, if any, can Pam prevail in her action against Del? Discuss fully.
