The appellant appealed a summary judgment dismissing his tort claim for negligent misrepresentation against the respondent.
The appellant had advanced mortgage funds on a property and alleged the respondent made a negligent representation regarding the property's consideration in a deed.
The Court of Appeal upheld the motion judge's finding that there was no genuine issue requiring a trial, as the evidence showed the appellant did not rely on the representation when deciding to advance the monies.
The appeal was dismissed.
