Summary

Case summaries are prepared by the Office of the Registrar of the Supreme Court of Canada (Law Branch). Please note that summaries are not provided to the Judges of the Court. They are placed on the Court file and website for information purposes only.

The applicants were acquirers of an immovable sold by the respondent. Before the sale, experts had issued recommendations concerning the general condition of the foundations, but the sale nevertheless took place. After the purchase, various structural problems were noted. The applicants instituted an action for latent defects and fraud, arguing that the respondent was aware of the state of the immovable at the time of the sale, but did not disclose it.

The Quebec Superior Court found that an intent to mislead was necessary to find that there was fraud and that there was no evidence that demonstrated such an intent. It also found that the immovable did not have latent defects, but rather apparent defects. The Quebec Court of Appeal upheld the trial judgment.
