  • Fraudulent misrepresentation is a legal term that refers to a false statement of fact that has been made knowingly or recklessly by one party (Brady) to another (Calliope), with the intent to induce the other party to enter into a contract. Since Brady knowingly told Calliope that there were no problems with the car despite being aware of the faulty brakes, he misrepresented the condition of the car. By relying on this misinformation, Calliope was induced to purchase the car, which could potentially lead to a successful claim of fraudulent misrepresentation against Brady.
