Identify two situations in which silence or nondisclosure constitutes a misrepresentation


Students may identify two of the following situations. Silence or nondisclosure constitutes a misrepresentation when: (a) a person fails to disclose a fact known to him, he knows that the disclosure of that fact would correct a mistake of the other party as to a basic assumption on which that party is making the contract, and nondisclosure of the fact amounts to a failure to act in good faith; (b) a party discovers that prior representations she innocently made are untrue and she does not correct the error; (c) the parties are not dealing at arm's length, such as when the transaction involves a fiduciary, or a person in a confidential relationship who owes a duty of trust, loyalty, and confidence to the other.
