Please use IRAC method for this question

Before Carl pays for the car, he goes to the Motor Services Registry to check the registration expiry date. The registry officer without conducting a thorough check tells him that the registration is current and there is nothing to be worried about for the next 12 months. The officer issues a handwritten clearance notice form because the computer system is under maintenance. In his haste to complete the transaction, the officer did not notice that the registration was to expire next week on 30th April this year and not next year. Carl uses his car to deliver pizza for Roma's Pizza and makes good money to pay for accommodation while he is a University student. Two weeks later, when Carl is delivering pizzas, the police pull him over because the registration is expired. He is carrying a major delivery of pizzas to a conference and the police impound the car because they believe the vehicle has been used in a recent armed robbery. Carl has not only lost his car but also has to pay a heavy fine plus impounding fees. Carl's boss is furious and deducts his losses from Carls' payment for the failed delivery.

Carl would like to know whether he could claim damages against the Motor Services Registry for carelessly representing that the car was registered for the next 12 months.
