KembaraXtra – Legal Terms – Innocent Misrepresentation
Innocent misrepresentation occurs where a false statement induces a contract but is made without negligence or intent to deceive. The representor genuinely believes the statement to be true.
The primary remedy is rescission of the contract rather than damages. The law treats innocent misrepresentation more leniently than fraudulent or negligent misrepresentation.
