NOVEMBER ANSWER
The Hearing Panel concluded that REALTOR® A had engaged in misrepresentation in omitting from the prospectus information which he reasonably should have known to be relevant and significant and that the disclaimer did not, in any respect, avoid his obligation of full disclosure. REALTOR® A was found in violation of Article 2.
From Case #2-8: Misrepresentation.
