| 单词 | Misrepresentation |
| 释义 | 失實陳述 A representation which does not accord with the true facts (past or present). It may be fraudulent, negligent, or innocent. Only if a discrepancy between the true facts and the misrepresented facts can be shown will a misrepresentation be established. Where a person has entered into a contract after a misrepresentation has been made to him, and the misrepresentation has become a term of the contract, or the contract has been performed or both, then he would be entitled to rescind the contract, subject to the provisions of the Misrepresentation Ordinance: Misrepresentation Ordinance (Cap 284) s 2. The remedy for misrepresentation is rescission of the contract: Wide Link Ltd, Tam Sing Cheong [1993] 3 HKC 405. Contract - A false material statement of fact intended to induce another person to enter into a contract, and relied on by that person to his detriment. A fraudulent misstatement of law has the effect of a misrepresentation: British Workman’s and General Assurance Co Ltd v Cunliffe (1902) 18 TLR 502 (CA). Generally, a representation will not be considered a misrepresentation if it was an opinion (Bisset v Wilkinson [1927] AC 177), or a statement of intention, unless in fact the party had no such intention (Edgington v Fitzmaurice (1885) 29 Ch D 459). If, prior to contract, the representee finds that representation was not wholly true, the onus falls on the representor to show that the representation did not induce the contract: Aktieselskabet Dansk Skibs-finansiering v Brothers [2000] 1 HKC 511, 1 HKLRD 568 (CFA). This can be proved by showing that the representee relied on his or her own inquiries or observations: Redgrave v Hurd (1881) 20 Ch D 1. See also Deceit; Fraudulent misrepresentation; Innocent misrepresentation; Misstatement; Negligent misrepresentation; Representation; Rescission. 指無法與真正事實（過去或現在）相符的陳述。它可以是欺詐性、疏忽或無意。只有證實當真正事實與失實陳述的事實有差歧，失實陳述方可成立。凡任何人在別人向他作出失實陳述後訂立合約，但同時有下述情況或其中一項情況 -該失實陳述已成為合約中的一項條款；或該合約已履行，而假若無上述情況，該人是無須指稱有欺詐情況而即有權撤銷合約的，他在符合《失實陳述條例》的規定下仍無須指稱有欺詐情況而如上述般有權撤銷合約：《失實陳述條例》（第284章） 第2條。失實陳述的補救方法是撤銷合約：Wide Link Ltd, Tam Sing Cheong [1993] 3 HKC 405。 合約 - 指意圖以虛假的具關鍵性陳述誘使另一人訂立合約，而被該人援引而遭受損害。有欺詐成分的錯誤陳述具有失實陳述的效果：British Workman’s and General Assurance Co Ltd v Cunliffe (1902) 18 TLR 502 （英國上訴法院）。一般而言，如某陳述屬意見性質(Bisset v Wilkinson [1927] AC 177)，或意圖性質，則不會被視為失實陳述 ，除非該一方其實沒有此等意圖 (Edgington v Fitzmaurice (1885) 29 Ch D 459)。如果在訂立合約之前，表態對象發現某陳述並非完全正確，表態者須承擔舉證責任，以證明該陳述並沒有誘使另一人訂立合約：Aktieselskabet Dansk Skibs-finansiering v Brothers [2000] 1 HKC 511, 1 HKLRD 568 （終審法院）。此可以證明表態對象以本身的查究或觀察作驗證：Redgrave v Hurd (1881) 20 Ch D 1。另見 Deceit; Fraudulent misrepresentation; Innocent misrepresentation; Misstatement; Negligent misrepresentation; Representation; Rescission。n. |
