A defendant, who had contracted to purchase land, sought to nullify the sale on the grounds that the seller had failed to disclose the existence of an easement benefitting a neighboring property, arguing this failure vitiated consent, but the court rejected the appeal, reasoning that the existence of a visible and apparent easement, which a diligent purchaser should have noticed through an inspection of the property, does not constitute a hidden defect that invalidates the sale contract under the relevant civil code provisions, as the buyer is presumed to have accepted the visible encumbrance.
