| Depending on the type of misrepresentation, remedies such as [[Rescission (contract law)|recission]], or [[damages]], or a combination of both may be available. Tortious liability may also be considered. Several countries, such as Australia have a statutory schema which deals with misrepresentations under consumer law.<ref>http://www.comlaw.gov.au/Details/C2011C00003/Html/Volume_3#param46</ref>
