Hello, I am answering the problem question attached below. I and I am struggling with the outline.

If you could please advise me in the correct direction

So far what I have is:

The topic involves an investigation of whether Jodie may successfully claim for misrepresentation in relation to Bruce's claims, and if so, what remedies will be available. As well as if she can sue Horsie and Co for breach of contract and negotiate a settlement.

Problem Question Jodie is a professional horse rider. She needs a new horse to compete in the upcoming horse riding race. She also needs to purchase new horse riding equipment. She phones Bruce, a horse seller, and asks if the horses he sells are free from hereditary diseases. Bruce replies that they are. Bruce adds that all of his horses are checked by a vet who issues a certificate confirming the good health of the horse. Reassured by Bruce, Jodie pays $20,000 for a horse. Bruce promises to deliver the horse in 5 days. In the meantime, Bruce asks the vet to inspect the horse. The vet issues a certificate confirming the horse is in good health and has no hereditary diseases. Bruce's van breaks down. As a result, he delivers the horse with the certificate to Jodie 3 days later than promised but still in time for Jodie to practice. Jodie contacts Horsie and Co, a company that sells horse equipment. She tells Horsie and Co that she is interested in purchasing a saddle pad. Horsie and Co sends her an electronic contract, which contains the following provisions: a. Horsie and Co will not be liable for any injuries caused as a result of using its equipment. b. Horsie and Co's liability for any financial loss caused by defects in its horse equipment will be limited to $500. After months of active training with the new horse purchased from Bruce, Jodie enters a horse riding race. 2 minutes into the race, Jodie realises her horse is unusually slow. 4 minutes later, her new saddle pad purchased from Horsie and Co falls off the horse, causing Jodie to fall onto the ground and suffer several bone fractures that require long-term medical treatment. Jodie fails to finish the race, losing $50,000 of potential income. She needs f15,000 to treat injuries caused by her fall from the horse. It later transpires the horse equipment had a manufacturing defect and that the horse had a hereditary disease which affected its speed. Advise Jodie
