Undisclosed Facts Versus "As Is" Clause in Property Transaction
Synthèse Legislator
Généré par l'IAA party challenged a finding that they failed to disclose all relevant facts in a property transaction, arguing that certain prior representations made during negotiations were not legally required to be explicitly repeated in the final signed agreement, which contained a general "as is" clause and no explicit misrepresentation of current condition. The court reasoned that while the agreement contained general disclaimers, the nature and materiality of the previously undisclosed facts created a fundamental misunderstanding of the property's condition that defeated the purpose of the transaction, thereby constituting a breach of good faith and fair dealing, and justifying relief despite the written contract terms.
