Misrepresentation In Prospectuses
Summary
Misrepresentation in company prospectuses in Nigeria can lead to rescission and damages if the overall impression is misleading, even if individual statements are true. The case of Greenwood v Leather Shod Wheel Co (1900) highlights that separate true statements can collectively mislead. Re Pacaya Rubber and Produce Co Ltd, Birds Application (1914) further illustrates that misstatements in an experts report, vouched for by the company, can be grounds for rescission.Full Conversation
