Sale Agreement Annulment Denied Over Undisclosed Right of First Refusal
Synthèse Legislator
Généré par l'IAA litigant sought annulment of a sale agreement, claiming the property was sold without proper disclosure of a pre-existing right of first refusal held by a third party, arguing this constituted a vice of consent and a violation of the seller's warranty against encumbrances; the court upheld the lower court's decision rejecting the claim, reasoning that the mere existence of a right of first refusal, without its exercise by the third party, did not inherently render the property unfit for its intended use nor did it constitute a clandestine encumbrance or a defect that invalidated the seller's warranty, as the buyer was presumed to have accepted the property as is concerning such preliminary rights.
