- 1Fletcher v KrellM must be an untrue statement of fact
Silence cannot be a m.
a woman applied for a post as a governess without revealing that she had previously been married, which is a factor that could have affected the employer's decision. The court held in her favour that her silence did not amount to M. - 2Bisset v WilkinsonM must be a false statement of fact.
when asked about how many sheep a piece of land would hold, the seller estimated that it could hold 2000 sheep but hadn't used it as a sheep farm. After purchase, the estimate turned out to be wrong so the claimant challenged this in court. It was held that the statement was one of opinion, not fact so Misrep was not actionable.
- 3Attwood v SmallNo inducement where the representee does not rely on the representation
