Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Misrepresentation is when a party makes a false statement (either intentional or unintentional) that induces the other party to enter into the contract. This false statement can include a statement of fact, an opinion, or a failure to disclose important information. If the misrepresentation is material and induces the other party to enter into the contract, it can be used as a defense to the enforcement of the contract.
