A buyer of land sought to annul the sale agreement due to a lack of clear indication in the deed regarding the existence of a right of passage over the property, which the seller had not disclosed, and which the buyer only discovered after the sale. The Court of Cassation overturned the lower court's decision, reasoning that the seller's failure to disclose a known servitude, which significantly burdened the property and was not apparent upon superficial inspection, constituted fraudulent concealment, thus justifying the nullification of the sale on the grounds of error concerning an essential quality of the property.
