Buyer's Suit to Annul Promise to Sell Due to Failure to Notify Pre-emption Holder Rejected
Synthèse Legislator
Généré par l'IAA buyer, having signed a promise to sell property that was subject to a pre-emption right held by a third party, sought judicial annulment of the sale contract after the seller failed to notify the third party of the sale, arguing that this failure rendered the sale voidable; however, the court rejected this claim because the seller's obligation to notify the holder of the right of pre-emption only arises upon the definitive sale, and since the document signed was merely a promise to sell, which is not a final contract, the seller had not yet breached any duty requiring annulment of the preliminary agreement.
