To whom the representation rolls –

Originally published by David Coale.

The Texas Supreme Court’s opinion in Mercedez-Benz v. Carduco has sparked discussion about the interplay between contract terms and oral representations. An important component of that discussion is that Court’s reminder that: “Another issue for Carduco in this case is the testimony of Renato Cardenas, Carduco’s sole owner and decision maker, who testified that none of the defendants actually made any oral representation to him about Carduco’s ability to move the dealership to the McAllen area as the exclusive Mercedes-Benz dealership there.” The lack of such evidence mooted a dispute over the situations where partial disclosure can create an obligation to make corrective representations. No. 16-0644 (Feb. 22, 2019).
