Buyer's Attempt to Annul Land Sale Based on Preliminary Sketch Discrepancies Fails

An individual who contracted to purchase land after being shown only a preliminary sketch, which turned out to be inaccurate regarding the true boundaries established by the official land registry, sought annulment of the sale, arguing the seller had committed fraud by not disclosing the definitive measurements. The court rejected the appeal, reasoning that the preliminary sketch, provided for mere descriptive guidance, did not constitute the essential commitment on the exact dimensions of the property; the binding contract was based on the description within the authentic deed, and absent proof that the seller actively concealed the official land registry documents or knowingly misrepresented the legal description, the buyer could not void the sale based on discrepancies between the informal sketch and the final agreed-upon boundaries.
