    Case number
    HCA1787/2010

    No actionable misrepresentation found: the brochure's Amalfi description was non‑actionable planning information accompanied by clear disclaimers and could not reasonably be relied upon as present fact; the alleged oral representations were not proved and claimant's evidence was unreliable; alternatively, express contractual clauses would estop reliance on prior representations; claimant also failed to prove a non‑speculative loss of a chance to acquire an alternative property. Accordingly the claim under the Misrepresentation Ordinance is dismissed.
