A buyer, having discovered a defect in a purchased item shortly after delivery, sought to have the sale rescinded, but the seller argued that the action was barred by prescription because the defect was one that a diligent buyer should have discovered immediately upon receipt; however, the court rejected this argument, reasoning that in sales contracts, the prescriptive period for an action based on hidden defects only begins to run from the date the buyer discovers the defect, not from the date of delivery, thereby upholding the buyer's right to pursue the claim.
