  • In common law jurisdictions, a misrepresentation is a false or misleading statement of fact made during negotiations by one party to another, the statement then inducing that other party to enter into a contract.

The law of misrepresentation is an amalgam of contract and tort; and its sources are common law, equity and statute.
