Will someone please relieve Mr H of his shovel?
It was never the intention for me to be the public face of the company because it would dent the credibility of the company off the back of Alpha One
Correct. Ever wondered why no-one would return your phone calls, Mr H? Perhaps they didn't want to do business with you. Coming up with a pseudonym so that people WILL deal with you is - um - what's the word?
From Wiki... Misrepresentation is one of several vitiating factors which can affect the validity of a contract. A misrepresentation occurs when one party makes a false statement with the intention of inducing another party to contract. For an action to be successful, some criteria must be met in order to prove a misrepresentation. These include:
1. A false statement of fact has been made,
2. The statement was directed at the suing party and
3. The statement had acted to induce the suing party to contract.
Looking at the criteria above in terms of LinksAir...
1. According to the Times, MH "boasted of a “consortium” of wealthy investors in the airline who never existed".
2. LinksAir would have been told that VE had money, otherwise no self-respecting operator would have operated at all;
3. See point 2.
