Problem
In his free time, Joe fixes up secondhand cars which he then sells by placing an advertisement in his local newspaper. Joe posted an advertisement for a 1999 Honda Civic which had driven 300,000kms. When, after 3 weeks, not a single person showed interest in the car, he made the decision to wind the car's odometer back to 100,000kms. The next day, Susan agreed to buy the car. When she took the car to her mechanic, she was angry to learn the truth about the car's odometer. Required: Refer to Derry v Peak and analyse whether Susan can sue Joe for False Misrepresentation.
