Misrepresentation

This high-level, practitioner text examines in detail this specialist area of contract law - the remedies available where a precontractual statement is false or where a contract incorporates a precontractual false statement as a warranty. It is written in such a way that practitioners can immediately find a discussion of the particular problem they face.
In one volume it draws together the complex mixture of rules of common law and, since the Misrepresentation Act 1967, statute law, which now comprise the law relating to misrepresentation. The circumstances where misrepresentation may constitute an actionable tort are fully considered, together with the circumstances in which a party to a contract can obtain a remedy for the other party's precontractual non-disclosure.
