OSP Consultants, Inc., the Virginia Supreme Court in an opinion by Senior Justice Stephenson concluded in an answer to a certified question from the Fourth Circuit that a telecommunications company was not entitled to damages for loss of use where redundancy in its fiber optic network allowed it to avoid actual losses when one cable was damaged.
