1Opinion of the Court

OPINION ANNOUNCING THE JUDGMENT OF THE COURT

Justice NEWMAN.

In this case we must decide whether a misstatement by one party to a prenuptial agreement of the assets of the other party constitutes fraud such that the prenuptial agreement is voidable. We find that there is no justifiable reliance by the party claiming fraud with respect to this representation and, accordingly, we reverse the Superior Court on that issue. We also' remand this case to the Superior Court to review the determination by the trial court that a confidential relationship existed between the parties.
