Powell-Smith, V.
No penalty for misrepresentation - 1993 - Contract Journal 366(5912) 18 February 1993, 13(1) .
"Convent Hospital Ltd v Eberlin and Partners" is one of few construction cases on fraudulent misrepresentation. The appellants, a firm of architects, were held by CA to be liable for negligence in not securing a performance bond as the bills of quantities required. Their claim for indemnity failed as the numerous false statements given by the third party, a firm of contractors, made no difference to E`s final course of action.
