Does a false promise constitute a negligent false promise?

California, United States of America


The following excerpt is from Praetorian Ins. Co. v. Dunnion Law Firm, F066590 (Cal. App. 2014):

true, by one who has no reasonable ground for believing it to be true.' [Citation.] Simply put, making a promise with an honest but unreasonable intent to perform is wholly different from making one with no intent to perform and, therefore, does not constitute a false promise. Moreover, we decline to establish a new type of actionable deceit: the negligent false promise." (Tarmann v. State Farm Mut. Auto. Ins. Co. (1991) 2 Cal.App.4th 153, 159, fn. omitted.)
