Breach of Contract Due to Alleged Latent Structural Defect
Synthèse Legislator
Généré par l'IAA dispute arose regarding the liability of a party for damages following the failure to complete a contract for the purchase of a building, where the purchaser subsequently refused to finalize the sale, claiming a latent defect that rendered the property unfit for its intended purpose, specifically an essential structural flaw affecting the foundation. The court rejected the appeal, reasoning that the purported defect was either apparent upon reasonable inspection at the time of the agreement, or that the purchaser had failed to provide sufficient proof that the defect was truly latent and sufficiently serious as to void the contract, thereby affirming the lower court's finding that the refusal to proceed with the sale was unjustified and constituted a breach.
