The hawker licence was a statutory instrument and did not create a contract between the Director and the licencee; accordingly the misrepresentation claim under s.3 failed for lack of a contract, and the Director owed no actionable duty of care in respect of the 1st Defendant's trespassous acts which were not reasonably foreseeable and were disclaimed by the licence (Condition 13); therefore the 1st Defendant's summons for directions seeking contribution/indemnity from the Director was dismissed.
