Del. P.J.I. Civ. § 16.5
Negligent Misrepresentation – Consumer Fraud Act
NEGLIGENT MISREPRESENTATION – CONSUMER FRAUD ACT
Under the Delaware Consumer Fraud Act, if a person makes a false
representation or conceals an important fact from another in connection with the
advertising or sale of any merchandise, and intends that the other person will rely on
it, the person making the false representation may be liable. This is so even if the
person making the representation was unaware that it was false or that an important
fact had been concealed. This is known as negligent misrepresentation.
If you find that [defendant’s name] falsely represented that [describe alleged
misrepresentation or concealment] and intended that [plaintiff’s name] would rely
on this representation, then [defendant’s name] is liable for negligent
misrepresentation.
