Linda and Ralph moved to a large farm they recently purchased.The couple wish to subdivide some of the land and sell a lot.They contracted a local surveyor who completed the survey of the perspective lot to be severed.After the deal had been completed and the lot sold,the couple were confronted by the new lot owner,and a neighbour of the farmer.They produced an older deed showing the newly severed lot belonged to the neighbour's farm and did not belong to Linda and Ralph's.With the threat of legal action looming,the couple confronted the surveyor who told them they cannot sue him because he is an unlicensed professionaland is free from any responsibility for the services he renders.
A) The contractor is right.Linda and Ralph used an unlicensed professional and this action makes them responsible under contractual law for all mistakes that the person has made.

C) Linda and Ralph are responsible for their own damages because according to law you are required,when using an unlicensed professional,to have his work checked by a professional.
D) a and c.
