Synthèse Legislator
Généré par l'IAA buyer, having discovered a latent defect in a purchased property that rendered it unsuitable for its intended purpose, sought rescission of the sale and damages, arguing the seller knew of the defect; the court rejected the appeal, reasoning that the buyer failed to prove the seller's bad faith or fraudulent concealment regarding the unknown defect at the time of sale, as mere discovery of a defect after the sale does not automatically imply the seller's prior knowledge or fault.
