ISSUE:
Whether the Defendants are liable to Plaintiff for deceit and fraud under Contract Law?
RULE:
In order to sustain an action for deceit, the Plaintiff must first prove that there was a statement as to facts there was false, and secondly, that it was false to the knowledge of defendants, or that they made it not caring whether it was true or false.
Also, when you have proved that the statement was false, you must further show that the statement was whether the sole cause of Plaintiff’s act, or materially contributed to his acting.
