The court dismissed Tortuga Investments B.V.'s claim against 't Anker Beheer B.V. for failure to disclose lower rental income on a specific apartment. Tortuga argued this omission reduced the property's value and should have lowered the purchase price, but 't Anker contended they accepted the highest bid available. The court ruled that while the rental income was indeed lower, this did not prove a contract would have been concluded at a lower price given the competitive bidding context.

Art. 6:106 BW; Art. 6:110 BW: A seller's failure to disclose specific facts does not automatically constitute a breach if the buyer could have obtained the same result through market competition or if the undisclosed facts do not fundamentally alter the transaction's value in the context of the offer received.
