9 RISK ENTIRE AGREEMENT CLAUSE NO REPRESENTATIONS CLAUSE FRANCHISEE COMPLETED SCHEDULE STRATEGY INDEPENDENT ADVICE PRIOR REPRESENTATIONS QUESTIONNAIRE
10 Neither the inclusion of an entire agreement clause in an agreement nor the inclusion of a provision expressly denying reliance upon pre-contractual representations will necessarily prevent the provision of misleading information before a contract was made constituting a contravention of the prohibition against misleading or deceptive conduct by which loss or damage was sustained. Guirguis Pty Ltd v Michel s Patisserie System Pty Ltd & Ors [2017] QCA 83 at [28] quoting Campbell v Backoffice Investments Pty Ltd (2009) 238 CLR 304 at [130]
