‘The important judgment of the Privy Council (the board) in Credit Suisse Life (Bermuda) Ltd v Bidzina Ivanishvili & Ors clarified the test for fraudulent misrepresentation, confirming that the claimant’s awareness of a representation is not an element of the tort of deceit. This is a significant development in the law on fraudulent misrepresentation, overturning an established line of English authority.’
