Généré par l'IAA dispute arose concerning a contract for the sale of a building where the purchaser sought to avoid the sale, alleging a defect in the property's title, specifically concerning a servitude of view that restricted use, which the vendor knew about but failed to disclose; the court rejected the appeal, affirming that the servitude constituted a charge upon the property that should have been declared, but because the purchaser, having inspected the property and having had the opportunity to verify the title documents, failed to secure a specific contractual guarantee against such encumbrances, the established fact that the vendor's failure to disclose was not a deliberate fraudulent misrepresentation sufficient to vitiate consent, coupled with the purchaser's failure to take necessary precautions, barred rescission of the sale based on the undisclosed, apparent, or easily discoverable charge.
