Legal Definitions - representor

A representor is someone who makes a statement or claim to another person. This person may not necessarily guarantee the accuracy of what they say, but the other party is entitled to assume that the representor has taken due care in making the statement.

For example, if a car salesman tells a customer that a car has never been in an accident, the customer is entitled to assume that the salesman has checked the car's history and is telling the truth. If it later turns out that the car was in fact in an accident, the customer may have a legal claim against the representor for making a false statement.

Another example could be a real estate agent who tells a potential buyer that a property has no zoning restrictions. The buyer may rely on this statement and purchase the property, only to later find out that there are zoning restrictions that prevent them from using the property as they intended. In this case, the buyer may have a legal claim against the representor for making a false statement.

Overall, a representor is someone who makes a statement that another person relies on, and if that statement turns out to be false, the representor may be held responsible.
