Abigail was shopping in an antique store and was drawn to what appeared to be an antique plate. The antique dealer said the plate was created in the 1800s in England. In reality, the plate was made in China in 2000. The plate was stamped with this information on the bottom. Abigail bought the plate, but then later sued for fraudulent misrepresentation. The court will not rescind the contract because Abigail did not have justifiable reliance since she could have easily discovered the falsity of the seller's claims.The court believe that Abigail should had checked the item properly before she purchase the antique since the maker of that product had provided the necessary information needed and ignorance will not be an excuse.
