Purchaser's Claim for Annulment of Sale Based on Hidden Defect Rejected After Taking Possession
Synthèse Legislator
Généré par l'IAThe case concerns a dispute where a purchaser sought annulment of a sale alleging a hidden defect in the property, while the seller argued the buyer had constructive knowledge of the defect upon taking possession. The court rejected the purchaser's claim, reasoning that once the buyer takes possession of the thing sold, absent proof to the contrary, they are presumed to have accepted the property as it is, thereby waiving the right to claim annulment based on apparent defects or those discoverable by ordinary inspection at the time of delivery, thereby confirming the lower court's decision based on the factual finding that the defect was not truly hidden.
