duty to speak

A requirement (not strictly a duty) to say something to correct another’s false impression.

• For example, a duty to speak may arise when a person has, during the course of negotiations, said something that was true at the time but that has ceased to be true before the contract is signed. [Cases: Fraud 17.]
