A breach of representation is a major/ fundamental breach and allows the innocent party to rescind the contract and claim damages. A Breach of Representation is when you provide false information about who you are- this might have been a fundamental reason as to why the contract went ahead. If it turns out not to be true, the other party has the right to cancel the contract and claim damages. See p.126

I’m a bit confused about what constitutes a fundamental breach. I thought a breach of representation was serious enough for B to take action.

I think a breach of representation might let party B rescind the contract, but I'm not sure if they can also claim damages.
