Court dismisses buyer's claim for contract rescission due to roof defect under Dutch Civil Code fraud provisions.

The court dismissed the buyers' claim to rescind the property purchase based on alleged fraud regarding the roof's condition. Although the buyers argued they relied on a false assumption that the roof was sound, the court found they had conducted a building inspection revealing the roof was only in fair to poor condition. Consequently, the court ruled that both parties were aware of the roof's defects, negating the mutual mistake required for rescission under the Civil Code.
