Sycamore Bidco Ltd v Breslin
[2012] EWHC 3443 (Ch)
Key Principle
Whether a statement in a share purchase agreement is a contractual warranty only, or also a representation capable of founding a misrepresentation claim, turns on the parties' objective intention as shown by the drafting; terms expressly labelled and structured as 'warranties' will generally be warranties only and not representations.
