The latent defect cases oppose a buyer and his seller (article 1726 of the Civil code of Quebec):
The latent defect cases oppose a buyer and his seller (article 1726 of the Civil code of Quebec):
The seller is bound to warrant the buyer that the property and its accessories are, at the time of the sale, free of latent defects which render it unfit for the use for which it was intended or which so diminish its usefulness that the buyer would not have bought it or paid so high a price if he had been aware of them.
The seller is not bound, however, to warrant against any latent defect known to the buyer or any apparent defect; an apparent defect is a defect that can be perceived by a prudent and diligent buyer without the need to resort to an expert.
