Mick buys a suit in a clothing shop owned by Fred for £200. Which of the following statements made by Fred entitles Mick to rescind the contract if all the other requirements for an actionable misrepresentation are fulfilled?
A) 'Our suits will make you look like a millionaire.' When Mick wears his suit to work the next day, his colleagues deride him for wearing such a cheap looking suit.
B) 'I don't see why you couldn't use this suit to go deep sea diving.' Mick is an avid deep sea diver and wants to wear the suit to propose to his fiancée under water. The shoulder pads of the suit make it impossible to close the harness of the oxygen tank properly.
C) 'This suit's the last one of its kind, the manufacturer has decided to stop making them.' Fred has only heard a rumour that this would be the case. In fact, it was spread by another manufacturer to enhance his sales. Because he is told this, Mick decides to buy the suit immediately rather than shop around.
