What are the implications of a disclosure statement in a contract?

Nova Scotia, Canada


The following excerpt is from Thompson & Martin v. Schofield & White, 2005 NSSC 38 (CanLII):

If this court finds that the answers given in the disclosure statement, which was incorporated in the agreement, were either negligent or fraudulent misrepresentations, there is no doubt that (a) they were material, (b) they were made at the time of the entry into the contract or the agreement of sale and were relied upon, and (c) based on the law as set out in Desmond v. McKinlay at paragraphs 48 to 51, they would constitute, in addition to negligent misrepresentations, a breach of a collateral warranty and thereby constitute a breach of the agreement of sale.
