On the facts the court preferred the defendants' factual account, found the plaintiffs failed to prove the alleged misrepresentations as pleaded or to prove actionable negligent misstatement; documents and taped conversations procured covertly were admissible but unreliable and given limited weight; s.13 LARCO applies to fraudulent financial/credit representations lacking writing; even on alternate legal tests causation and transaction‑specificity were not established. Judgment entered for defendants and costs ordered against plaintiffs.
