The court found the pamphlet, tender document and oral statements were material representations that were false and made without reasonable grounds (reckless or negligent). Plaintiffs relied on them to enter licences. Plaintiffs promptly rescinded after discovery; rescission is available and appropriate. Restitution primarily required return of licence deposits; full damages for business losses not awarded because plaintiffs failed to prove net loss (no income evidence). Defendant's counterclaims dismissed.
