Description

The book discusses the doctrine of fraudulent misrepresentations and the impact they might have on a contractual relationship. Take a few minutes to digest exactly what the book is referencing to here. Do you agree with the principle that a person might be able to make a fraudulent misrepresentation without saying a single word? Discuss at least one area of contract/business law where such a principle is applied commonly and whether you agree or disagree with it.

A weekly discussion grade of "A" will require you to have all your postings completed before the deadlines (see Calendar) and demonstrate an excellent knowledge and understanding of the readings and assignments. Additionally, a response and question for one of your fellow classmates must be posted at least once a week. (Note: See respect policy above) Your opinions and thoughts must be thoughtful and supported with appropriate information from the readings or videos, if applicable. All opinions should be supported with specific reference to material from our readings and videos indicating the page number and/or section where you found the support. Every post should demonstrate a substantial amount of critical thinking in regards to that week's readings and discussion question.

Reply O Justin Steel : Wednesday Fraudulent misrepresentations occur when a person uses intentional deceit for personal gain. A fraudulent misrepresentation can be by either misstatement or omission of a material fact. I do agree with the principle that a person can make a fraudulent misrepresentation without saying a single word. If one party misleads a second party for the intent to deceive them then fraudulent misrepresentation is occurring whether or not words have been spoken. The book states, “Fraud exists only when a person represents as a fact something she or he knows is untrue" (Miller, 105). This does not necessarily mean that words have to be incorporated into this type of false representation. A single party can knowingly make false statements in an agreement verbally, but can also make them in writing, with simple gestures or even just by being silent. In the business sense, gestures such as shaking hands can constitute an agreement. If one party shakes another parties hand knowing that what they are shaking on is false then they are potentially deceiving that party without being vocal. I agree that gestures such as shaking another person's hand during an agreement should be viewed the same as a verbal communication when it relates to fraudulent misrepresentation. Robert Herbert 5
