- HCA5173/1998
The lease was induced by a misrepresentation made by the solicitor present (who acted for both parties) that the formal lease permitted use as a sauna; that misrepresentation vitiated the tenant's consent so the lease was rescinded, clause 5(k) could not be relied upon to defeat the misrepresentation claim, and the tenant was entitled to repayment of sums paid under the formal lease and interest; the landlord's counterclaim for repudiation fails.
