Seller Seeks Rescission Based on Undisclosed Preemption Right
Synthèse Legislator
Généré par l'IAA purchaser contracted to buy land from the seller, who claimed the contract was voidable because the property was subject to a right of preemption held by a third party that the seller had not disclosed, leading the seller to seek rescission; however, the court rejected the seller's appeal, reasoning that the seller's failure to disclose the preemption right did not automatically invalidate the sale agreement, as the obligation to disclose such matters typically falls upon the purchaser to investigate title, and the preemption right itself did not prevent the completion of the sale absent its actual exercise by the holder.
