Purchaser's Claim for Voiding Sale Based on Mistake Regarding Quality of Movable Good Rejected
Synthèse Legislator
Généré par l'IAA purchaser of a movable good, who failed to pay the agreed price, filed a claim against the seller, asserting that the sale was voidable due to a fundamental mistake regarding the quality of the object sold. The Court of Cassation rejected the appeal, reasoning that a mistake concerning the quality of a movable good only constitutes a ground for voiding the sale if that quality was essential and expressly stipulated as a condition of the agreement, which was not established in this instance where the claim was essentially based on a subjective overvaluation of the item.
