Facts: Dusky Bat is a Tasmanian businessman. He has recently sold a large parcel of land and has approached Trish Xarg's Financial Services Pty Ltd to seek some financial advice. The owner of this business, Trish Xarg prepares a statement of advice report for Thornton. Amongst the recommendations in the statement of advice report is one to purchase shares in Tas Cable Co Ltd, a company seeking to build a cable car on Mount Wellington in Hobart. Trish's advice confirms that shares in this company will double in value in twelve months. Also contained in the statement of advice report is a clause that says: 'This report provides general advice only and is not intended to be relied on. As this clause is on the last page of the report, Dusky Bat does not notice it. He pays Trish $3000 for the report and purchases $30 000 of shares in Tas Cable Co Ltd. Two months after purchasing the shares Tas Cable Co Ltd is placed into receivership and the shares are worth nothing. At this time Dusky discovers that its managing director was Trish's son. Required: Please advise Dusky. Do you believe he may have grounds for suing Trish or Xarg's Financial Services for breach of contract, misrepresentation or for breaching the Australian Consumer Law? Please illustrate your answer using case law, legal principles and legislation as applicable
