The plaintiff commenced an action alleging negligent misrepresentation arising from statements allegedly made by campground owners regarding the ability to reside permanently at a campground trailer site.
The plaintiff claimed she relied on representations that the trailer could be occupied year‑round when purchasing the trailer, but municipal zoning permitted only seasonal occupancy.
The court found the plaintiff failed to prove on a balance of probabilities that the defendants made an untrue or misleading statement permitting permanent residency.
Accordingly, the misrepresentation claim failed.
The defendants succeeded in part on their counterclaim for unpaid hydro, lost rental income, and storage fees for the plaintiff’s trailer remaining on the property.
