On the facts the defendants acted with the appropriate standard of care, reasonably and diligently identified a genuine potential defect in the Title, and any communication of that problem to the mortgagee/purchaser did not breach a confidential duty because the plaintiff knew the firm acted for O.T.B. (implied consent); the plaintiff's claim was dishonest and damages were not proved or were too remote; therefore the defendants were not negligent and the claim fails (nominal damages only).
