What is the test for tort of negligent misrepresentation?

The tort of negligent misrepresentation is now an established principle of Canadian law. As set out in Queen v. Cognos Inc., 1993 CanLII 146 (SCC), [1993] 1 S.C.R. 87 at para. 34, to succeed in a claim for negligent misrepresentation, these five general requirements must be established: 1. There must be a duty of care based on a "special relationship" between the representor and the representee; 2. The representation in question must be untrue, inaccurate or misleading; 3. The representor must have acted negligently in making the misrepresentation; 4. The representee must have relied, in a reasonable manner, on the negligent misrepresentation; and 5. The reliance must have been detrimental to the representee in the sense that damages resulted.
