LAW 122 Lecture Notes - Lecture 10: Contra Proferentem, Golden Rule, Force Majeure
Document Summary
There are 3 types of statements: contractual term, pre-contractual statements. An opinion a: than it depends if the statement was factual (if yes than legal action may be taken) (predictions and opinions are not factual) c. Eg. the stock market is going to go down tomorrow. Just a regular person, not a lawyer (since the lawyer is a specialist in law) If the statement the person made to you law wise was wrong, than you should have known that they were lying since everyone must know the law. Expert opinion, considered to be an amplified fact. My intention: i know what i am going to do. If a statement is made about the consequence of the law. Let say you know you need a building permit before you buy the property, then let"s say the person says they already have a building permit to get you to buy the property, but they don"t actually have one.
