Gilchester Properties v Gomm: 1948

Gilchester_Gomm1948

In a conveyance of leasehold properties, the vendor’s solicitors replies to a purchaser’s enquiries were qualified ‘as far as the vendor knows’.
Held: This was not a representation beyond the knowledge of the vendor. The relief claimed was inappropriate since it would amount to an award of damages for an innocent misrepresentation.
