A plaintiff sued for rescission of a sale agreement, alleging that the seller failed to disclose a defect that rendered the property unfit for its intended use, despite the seller's explicit warranty against latent defects; the court of first instance granted the rescission, which was upheld on appeal, and the highest court rejected the appeal, reasoning that the contractual warranty against latent defects applied even if the seller was unaware of the defect, and that the non-disclosure of a defect known to the seller, which significantly diminished the property's value or utility for its purpose, constituted a breach justifying the requested remedy.
