Seller v. Buyer: Specific Performance Denied Due to Failure to Provide Lead Paint Certificate
Synthèse Legislator
Généré par l'IAA seller of a residential property sued the buyer for specific performance of the sale agreement after the buyer refused to proceed, alleging that the seller failed to provide a mandatory certificate detailing the presence or absence of lead paint, a violation of regulations concerning the sale of buildings constructed before 1949. The appellate court upheld the lower court's dismissal of the seller's claim, reasoning that the failure to provide the required certificate prior to the final sale agreement constituted a violation of a regulatory provision intended for the buyer's protection, which justified the buyer's refusal to execute the sale, as the violation was material and inexcusable.
