A breach of representation by party A in a contract would allow party B to do what?

Show Suggested Answer Hide Answer
Suggested Answer: C

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 lean towards A, but I could see how it might also be C. I just hope I remember the details correctly during the exam!

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 remember practicing a similar question where we discussed rescission and damages together. I feel like the answer could be C.

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