Problem
Jennifer is looking to buy a large lot of land establish a barley farm. She is advised by the surveyor at the local council office that there are no restrictions relating to the land as it is in "zone four and suitable for agricultural use". The Surveyor had failed to see the warning on the Council area map that the land was subject to a recent State Government order that all land in zone four was to be used for residential purposes only. After her purchase, Jennifer received a notice from the State Government requiring that she only use the land for residential purposes. With the aid of case law, briefly explain to Jennifer the grounds upon which she can hold the local council responsible for any loss that she has incurred.
