A breach of representation by party A in a contract would allow party B to do what?
A . rescind the contract
B. claim damages
C. rescind the contract and claim damages
D. nothing – this is not a fundamental breach

Answer: C

Explanation:

A breach of representation is a major/ fundamental breach and allows the innocent party to rescind the contract and claim damages. A Breach of Representation is when you provide false information about who you are- this might have been a fundamental reason as to why the contract went ahead. If it turns out not to be true, the other party has the right to cancel the contract and claim damages. See p.126
