The following excerpt is from Entwistle v. Davis & Davis Personal and Professional Development Seminars Ltd., 2004 NSSM 7 (CanLII):

Cognos or on the basis of contract law with the promise of employment being a fundamental term and contractual representation which would form a collateral warranty and which has been breached.
