In Cole v Euro-Asia Investments Co Ltd & ors [2012] NZWHT Auckland 25 the Weathertight Homes Tribunal decided that a real estate agent’s representation to a prospective purchaser in 2006 that they did not need to get a pre-purchase report because the house was brand new and had a new CCC was misleading, however, did not cause any loss. This was because the representation was superseded by later legal advice and was not an effective cause of any loss associated with the leaky home.
