Sale of Land by Boundaries Despite Measurement Discrepancy
Synthèse Legislator
Généré par l'IAA contract for the sale of land, signed under the mistaken belief that the described property was larger than its actual dimensions, led to the buyer seeking annulment based on error concerning the substance of the property. The court upheld the lower court's decision to reject the annulment, reasoning that while the buyer had an expectation of a specific area, the contract explicitly referred to the sale of the land by its existing boundaries and dimensions, making the error immaterial to the true subject matter of the sale, which was the identified parcel itself, regardless of the precise measurement discrepancy.
