Sale of Estate Land: Area Discrepancy and Claim for Rescission

A contract was formed for the sale of an estate that included a specific parcel of land described in the deed, but the buyer later discovered that the actual surface area of the property was significantly smaller than stipulated in the sales agreement, leading to a claim for rescission or price reduction based on the difference in area. The court affirmed the lower court's decision to reject the claim because the sale was concluded under terms where the discrepancy in area did not constitute a breach substantial enough to warrant rescission, nor did the evidence support the buyer's claim that they relied solely on the stated area rather than conducting their own due diligence, thus upholding the validity of the sale as executed.
