A party, having purchased real property through a private deed of sale, subsequently sought to have the sale set aside on the grounds that the seller had not disclosed a prior promise to sell the same property to a third party, arguing this omission constituted a fraudulent misrepresentation that vitiated consent, but the court upheld the validity of the sale, reasoning that the seller's failure to mention a prior promise to sell, which had not resulted in a formal transfer of ownership, did not constitute the necessary fraud required to nullify the subsequent sale contract under the relevant civil code provisions regarding consent vitiated by deceit.
