INNOCENT MISREPRESENTATION

Representations made which are untrue but made without knowledge of their untruth, and without any intention to deceive. For example, an agent mistakenly believes the cottage to be outside the flight path and the buyer buys on that basis.

Compare with fraudulent misrepresentation.

The available remedies to the innocent party depend upon whether or not the remedy is classified as a condition or warranty.
