A Dictionary of Law
William C. Anderson · 1889
Commending; recommending. Simplex eommendatio non otaligat. A mere recommendation does not bind: the expression of an opinion does not constitute a warranty. Abridged, Simplex eommendatio. A false assertion of value, when no warranty is intended, is not a ground of relief to a purchaser: the assertion is a matter of opinion, which does not imply Imowledge, and in which men may differ. Every person reposes at his peril in the opinion of others, when he has equal opportunity to form and exercise his own judgment.! " The law recognizes the fact that men will naturally overstate the value and qualities of the articles which they have to sell." A buyer has no right to rely upon mere " dealer's talk." " See Caveat, Emptor; Wakranty, 2.
