    This document discusses the case of Resource Piling Pte Ltd v Geospecs Pte Ltd. The key issues discussed include whether Geospecs owed a duty of care to Resource Piling in providing soil investigation reports, and whether Geospecs was negligent in accurately representing soil conditions in its borehole logs. The court examined factors including assumption of responsibility, reasonable reliance on the reports, risk allocation between the parties, and policy considerations around allocating liability for negligent misstatements to encourage diligence and compensate victims. Ultimately, the court found that Geospecs owed a duty of care to Resource Piling and that the borehole logs did not accurately indicate the soil conditions.
