INGAHARRO V. BLANCHETTE
440 A.2d 445 (1982)
NATURE OF THE CASE: This was an action in negligent misrepresentation.
FACTS: Ingaharro (P) purchased a house from D. The agreement contained a merger clause
stating that all representations were expressed in writing. The writing made no reference to
the water supply. In fact, D had experienced problems with water supply and all the
neighbors in the surrounding area also experienced problems. D made no statements regarding
water supply to P. P observed a swimming pool in the yard and also that the toilets had not
been flushed but made no inquiry regarding sources of water. P took possession and the water
supply failed. The problem could not be fixed. P sued D for negligence misrepresentation.
The trial master determined that the water supply was not readily discoverable by P and as
such D made a negligent misrepresentation. The Superior Court agreed and D appealed.
