Plaintiff Fails to Prove Intentional Misrepresentation in Property Sale Rescission Case

Plaintiff Fails to Prove Intentional Misrepresentation in Property Sale Rescission Case: A plaintiff, having contracted to purchase a property, sought rescission of the sale alleging that the seller had made fraudulent misrepresentations regarding the property's boundaries, yet the plaintiff failed to prove that the seller knew the representations were false or that they were made with the intent to deceive, thus the court upheld the dismissal of the claim for fraudulent inducement because the necessary element of *dol* (deceit) requires proof of intentional misrepresentation, which was absent in the record presented.
