Is a misrepresentation made in the context of a pre-contractual agreement enforceable in tort?
Manitoba, Canada
The following excerpt is from Monette v. Tramer, 1999 CanLII 14126 (MB QB):
Where the alleged negligent misrepresentations are made in a pre‑contractual setting and the parties subsequently enter into a contract, this does not, in itself, bar an action in tort for damages caused by said misrepresentations. See Queen v. Cognos Inc., 1993 CanLII 146 (SCC), [1993] 1 S.C.R. 87 at 112.
