A) fraudulent misrepresentation.
B) undue influence.
C) mistake.
D) none of the choices.

Respuesta :

Answer:

A) fraudulent misrepresentation.

Explanation:

Based on the information provided within the question it seems that Deb can rescind the contract on the ground of fraudulent misrepresentation. This term refers to when a person makes a false statement in order to get someone to enter into a contract. This is what happened in this situation since the salesperson promised a "smooth ride" which turned out to not be the case. Fraudulent Misrepresentation does not make the contract void but may make it voidable if taken to court and approved by a judge.

Answer:

Option D

Explanation:

Actually, this question is a very tricky question, in order to answer this question one has to check the words correctly. Okay, let us start knowing some key points.

Bram is the salesperson and Deb the buyer. Then, Bram promised Deb that the car will give her a smooth ride. With this knowledge, we can say that the buyer, that is, Deb can rescind the contract on the ground of option 'A' which is "fraudulent misrepresentation''. fraudulent misrepresentation is when you use wrong information to make another person go into contract with you.

BUT, according to the question, Bram offers a test drive, which Deb actually declines. If Deb test drive the car, she would have found out that the car is not in good condition. Which renders it not as a Fraudulent misrepresentation.
