Haros v Linfox [2011] FCA 699
The Court found that none of the pleaded representations, whether explicit or implied, were made by Linfox or its agents. Even if representations were made, they were not misleading or deceptive under the applicable legislation as the applicant had negotiated terms, was not influenced by any omission, and contractual provisions expressly excluded reliance on external representations.
