  • PankhaniaHackney London Borough Council (2002)
  • The claimants bought a property, part of which was used as car park
  • The council stated that the tenants had 3-months notice
  • This was incorrect , as the occupier of the car park. There was a remedy for Misrepresentation
  • Point of law
    In theory no one can be misled as to what the law is because everyone is presumed to know the law. However, if the law is misrepresented (incorrectly) It is actionable
