A plaintiff, having agreed to purchase a building under construction with completion scheduled for a specific date, sought rescission of the sale and damages after the delay in completion rendered the property unsuitable for the intended purpose, arguing that the seller's failure to complete on time constituted a fundamental breach of the contract's purpose, but the court rejected the appeal, finding that while the delay was established, the mere delay in delivery, without evidence that the agreed-upon completion date was an essential condition for the buyer's interest or that the seller was guilty of fraud or serious fault vitiating consent, did not automatically justify the resolution of the sale under the relevant civil code provisions regarding contract performance.
