A contract for the sale of goods was deemed voidable because the seller, who was also a building owner, failed to disclose latent defects in the property to the purchaser, a developer planning to construct buildings, despite the defects making the intended use impossible, and the court held that this failure to disclose constituted fraudulent concealment, requiring the contract's annulment due to the fundamental nature of the defect concerning the object's agreed-upon purpose.
