This law lecture looks at an actionable Misrepresentation in Contract Law. An actionable misrepresentation i.e. a misrepresentation that is capable of founding a court action for misrepresentation, must consist of certain elements which are discussed in detail below. If one of these elements is missing, the misrepresentation will not be actionable and there will be no remedy available for misrepresentation. A Misrepresentation is a unambiguous, false, statement of fact (or law), addressed to the party misled, which is material and induces the contract, and causes loss.
At the end of this lecture you will be able to do the following:
recognise the applicability of the defences of loss of control (previously called provocation) and diminished responsibility;
understand the development of and current law relating to loss of self control;
understand the law relating to diminished responsibility;
apply the law relating to murder to any given factual situation.
