A dispute arose concerning the validity of a sale agreement for a business where the buyer alleged the seller misrepresented the actual turnover, leading to the sale price being set too high, and sought the contract's rescission; the court ultimately rejected the appeal against the initial ruling that dismissed the rescission claim, reasoning that while the seller may have provided inaccurate financial information, the buyer, having the opportunity to conduct due diligence or seek expert advice before signing, failed to demonstrate the misrepresentation was sufficiently material and deceitful as to vitiate consent under the relevant civil code articles.
