A buyer sought rescission of a sale agreement based on the seller's failure to inform them about a pre-existing easement that burdened the property, arguing this constituted a hidden defect or misrepresentation impacting the property's use; the court rejected the appeal, reasoning that the existence of a clearly recorded public easement, which the buyer could have discovered through due diligence by consulting property records, did not constitute a hidden defect under the relevant civil code provisions, thus holding the seller free from liability for failing to orally disclose the publicly recorded encumbrance.
