- Esso Petroleum v Mardon and Caparo v Dickman are cases that concern negligent misstatement. In Esso Petroleum v Mardon, Esso made inaccurate representations about the potential sales of a petrol station, which Mardon relied upon to his detriment. In Caparo v Dickman, the House of Lords established the three-part test for duty of care in negligence, including cases of negligent misstatement, focusing on foreseeability, proximity, and whether it is fair, just, and reasonable to impose a duty.
