Synthèse Legislator
Généré par l'IAAn individual, having entered into a contract to purchase property, subsequently brought a civil action seeking the nullification of the sale due to a significant, undisclosed latent defect affecting the property's foundations, which diminished its value substantially; the court dismissed the appeal, reasoning that the purchaser's action was time-barred because the prescriptive period for seeking a remedy for a latent defect began running from the date of the sale, not from the date the defect was discovered, and the purchaser failed to initiate proceedings within the statutory timeframe following the contract's execution.
