BCJ's proposed decision continues to complicate these simple claims by SWC which are based on the common law, claims of intentional or negligent misrepresentation. SWC has previously set out the evidence and the law on which it relies in opposing BCJ's motion and will not repeat it here. However, a few observations seem appropriate. In its proposed memorandum of decision BCJ incorrectly states that SWC admitted all material facts in its 9 (c)(1) statement. (Document 164, page 3, footnote 1) While it is true that nearly all statements were admitted, one was denied and one admitted with qualification. SWC also presented additional disputed issues of material fact in its 9(c)(2) statement. The Declaration of Irving Goldblum, which was submitted in support of SWC's 9(c)(2) Statement, raises issues of material fact as to the claims of intentional and negligent misrepresentation which preclude the granting of BCJ's motion. In particular, paragraphs 10 through 15 of Mr. Goldblum's affidavit set out the misrepresentations made by BCJ, and SWC's $590,000 reduction in its bid based on those misrepresentations. BCJ disputes the statements of Mr. Goldblum, but they remain factual disputes of material dimension.
