The court found the manager was entitled to rely on implied authority under the Management Agreement to make the representation and to request the plaintiff to issue a clarifying letter to insurers; the representation was not proven false or made fraudulently; the negligence claim for pure economic loss failed because the plaintiff did not plead or prove a special relationship or assumption of responsibility and, on the facts, the defendant acted reasonably; claim dismissed and costs awarded to the defendant on party-and-party basis.
