A vendor sold a property with a visible but latent surface fault that they claimed to be unaware of, leading the buyer to seek rescission of the sale based on the discovery of a significant structural defect, which the vendor contested by asserting their good faith and lack of knowledge regarding the defect. The court rejected the appeal, affirming that even if the vendor was unaware of the vice, the existence of a latent defect that renders the property unfit for its intended use, as established by the trial court, permits the buyer to claim the warranty against latent defects, thereby upholding the rescission of the sale based on the established non-apparent, serious nature of the fault at the time of sale.
