Key Principle

In a claim in deceit/misrepresentation turning on what was said at a meeting, the court determines whether the alleged representation was made by weighing the inherent probabilities and contemporaneous documents against the inherently unreliable recollections of even honest witnesses, and a true-but-incomplete statement (a half-truth) may be actionable; reliance and causation are governed by the applicable law under Rome II.
