Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The fact that Tom is an amateur gemologist and made his own determination of the quality of the diamond may not be sufficient evidence to prove fraud on the part of the jeweler. Additionally, the jeweler may have made an honest mistake when assessing the diamond's quality, and this does not necessarily constitute fraud. It is up to Tom to inspect the diamond thoroughly before making the purchase and to determine the quality he wants. Therefore, Tom is not likely to win the case.
