Seller Liability for Undisclosed Latent Property Defects
Synthèse Legislator
Généré par l'IAThe dispute arose from a transaction involving real property where the buyer claimed the seller failed to disclose material defects in the property's foundation and used improper repair methods, leading to significant subsequent damage and costs, thus constituting a breach of contract and fraudulent misrepresentation. The court reasoned that the seller had an affirmative duty to disclose known material latent defects, and the evidence demonstrated a failure to disclose known structural issues, even if the agreement contained "as is" language; therefore, the seller was liable for damages stemming from the concealed defects and misrepresentations regarding the property's condition.
