Conceiving of harm as potentially both an economic loss resulting from a contract breach and an injury resulting from a tort is akin to concluding, for example, that a citizen’s injury is the result of the government’s breaching both a statutory obligation and a constitutional provision. When a court says, “the economic loss rule applies,” the court is simply articulating a conclusion that, in a particular set of circumstances, the law of contracts is the only source of a defendant’s obligations and no tort duty exists.
