Where misrepresentation had been established, it was presumed that if the fact misrepresented would reasonably form part of a basis of a decision, that it did so unless it could be shown that it was not so relied upon. It was not right to limit the level of evidence needed to rebut such a presumption. A misrepresentation is relied upon if it results in the continuance of an action already begun.
