Misrepresentation occurs when false or misleading information is presented, leading someone to form an incorrect belief or make a poor decision. This can happen in various contexts, such as business transactions, legal agreements, or advertising. For example, if a seller exaggerates the quality of a product, it can mislead potential buyers. In legal terms, misrepresentation can be classified into three types: fraudulent, negligent, and innocent. Fraudulent misrepresentation involves intentional deceit, while negligent misrepresentation occurs when someone fails to verify information before sharing it. Innocent misrepresentation happens when false information is provided without intent to deceive.
