520			_aWith reference to "Jarvis v Castle Wharf Developments and others", considers how professional agents can become liable to a contractor for negligent misstatements that prompt a contractor to tender. Gleeds, a QS acting as a professional agent, assured the contractor Jarvis that planning permission would be received for the project Jarvis was tendering for. When planning permission was not granted, Jarvis issued proceedings against Gleeds claiming negligent misstatement, and the judge confirmed that a duty of care was owed. The subsequent CA ruling found that Jarvis did not in fact rely on the misrepresentations made by Gleeds, but confirmed in principle the duties on professional agents during the tender period.
