    Cards (6)

    • Wilkinson entered into a binding contract to sell to bisset farmland for 13,260
    • Wilk told bisset that with a good six horse team it would carry 2,000 sheep
    • It was unsuccessful for 2 years
    • Bisset brought action for misrepresentation and get his money back
    • The sellers statement was a matter of opinion . Both parties knew about the farm has not been used as sheep farming before which means the farmland capacity was an estimate
    • Point of law - If an untrue statement is an uninformed opinion, it is not an untrue statement of fact.
