A buyer sought to void a sale of an automobile due to a hidden defect that rendered the vehicle unsuitable for its intended purpose, arguing the seller, a professional, was presumed to know the defect. The Court of Cassation upheld the lower court's decision, confirming that even when the seller is a professional, the buyer must demonstrate that the defect was known to the seller or that the seller committed gross negligence in failing to discover it, as mere professional status does not automatically establish presumed knowledge of every hidden defect affecting the object sold.
