What is the test for determining liability for negligent misrepresentations?

In considering liability for negligent misrepresentations, the trial judge correctly identified the necessary requirements, namely: (i) there is a duty of care based on a “special relationship” between the representor and representee; (ii) the representation must be untrue, inaccurate or misleading; (iii) the representor must have acted negligently in making the misrepresentations; (iv) the representee must have reasonably relied on the negligent misrepresentations; and (v) the reliance must have been detrimental to the representee in that damages resulted.
