Question Details

Choose the best option for the following statement:
1. Fraud is more of less intentional wrong, whereas misrepresentation may be quite innocent.
2. In addition to rendering the contract voidable, is a cause of action in tort for damages. Simple misrepresentation is not a tort but a person who rightfully rescinds a contract is entitled to compensation for any damages which he has sustained through the non-fulfillment of the contract.
3. A person complaining of misrepresentation can be met with the defence that he had "the means of discovering the truth with ordinary diligence".
