Ontario, Canada
The following excerpt is from Devincenzo v. Moir, 2017 ONSC 5122 (CanLII):
The Bax Defendants submit that a real estate appraiser owes a duty of care not only to the client, but also to all other persons to whom the appraisal report may be shown and who might be expected to rely on it citing a case from British Columbia for this contention (see Esselmont v. Harker Appraisals Ltd., 1979 CanLII 355 (BC SC), 1979 CarswellBC 228 (SC)).
