Marketing Guru, a local advertising agency, is to place television and newspaper advertisements for a company called Wollongong Fashion Fabrics Ltd (Wollongong Fashion). As Marketing Guru will personally guarantee the payment of the advertising accounts, it seeks credit references from Trust Bank, the banker/financier of Wollongong Fashion. A written report provided by Trust Bank states that Wollongong Fashion is creditworthy, but adds a note in the heading: 'without responsibility on the part of this bank or its officials'. Marketing Guru relies on the written report supplied by the banker and places the advertisements in the media, when Wollongong Fashion is not in fact creditworthy. Can Marketing Guru recover the amount paid for the advertisements?
