Key Principle

In an action for misrepresentation it is not necessary that the misrepresentation be 'material' in any objective sense; what matters is whether it in fact induced the representee to enter the contract, and where a misrepresentation would have induced a reasonable person to contract the burden shifts to the representor to prove the representee was not in fact induced.
