Similarly, Professor Stephen Corones (1998, pp. 783–4) has recently observed in relation to lawyers:

Lawyers are frequently involved in negotiations by their clients. They frequently have knowledge about their clients' affairs and the nature of their clients' businesses. If, during the course of negotiations, they are aware that their client makes a misrepresentation and they do nothing to correct the misrepresentation, they will be 'involved in' the contravention of s. 52 by their client and incur an ancillary liability under the Act.

If a client makes a false statement during negotiations in the presence of a solicitor, the solicitor should take the client to one side and counsel the client to correct the misleading information. If the client refuses to do so, an ethical and prudent solicitor will cease to act for the client and should correct the misinformation.
