C was induced to take a lease of premises for use as a poultry farm by D’s misrepresentation that the premises were in a sanitary condition. In fact, the water supply was contaminated. C’s manager fell ill and C’s poultry died or became worthless. C was also required by the local authority to carry out repair work to the premises. The court held that C could recover by way of indemnity amounts representing rent, rates and repair costs, but not medical bills and loss of profit.
