-A {{tag|representation}} is a statement made by one party which has the effect of inducing another into entering a {{tag|contract}}. By its nature, a {{tag|representation}} is therefore not a term of the contract itself — it is an {{tag|egg}} to the contract's chicken — although attorneys will gleefully add representations into the contract afterward, for good measure, and will co-brand them as [[warranty|warranties]] — being binding contractual terms — for good measure.
+{{representationdescription}}
-Non-contractual representations may provide relief: a false representation may entitle the party induced into the contract in reliance on it to claim under the Misrepresentation Act 1967 and [[rescind]] the {{tag|contract}} altogether, or claim damages for [[negligent misstatement]] in {{tag|tort}}.
