Question 2
Joe's Barbecue negotiated a lease for space in a strip mall with Diamond Enterprises, the owner of the strip mall. During negotiations for the lease, the agent for Diamond told Joe that the crime rate in the area was very low and that the strip mall had not experienced any criminal activity. The agent also told Joe that the strip mall had surveillance cameras that were not readily visible, but that were running 24 hours per day. Two months after Joe opened for business, assailants entered his restaurant, robbed his customers, and shot Joe.
