Question

Maurice is buying a property from Robert. At the initial property viewing, Robert tells Maurice that the property is 4.1 acres. They agree to a price, and enter into a purchase and sale agreement. Prior to closing, Maurice orders a survey. The surveyor discovers that the property is only 3.92 acres in size. Maurice and Robert's purchase and sale agreement is most likely:

Answer 1

Answer:

The contract is voidable.

Explanation:

The survey discovered a misrepresentation in the consideration (the size of the land), so that means that Maurice can choose to void it or not. A voidable contract is a contract that can be voided. In this case, the injured party is only Maurice, so only he can void it, or choose not to. They might negotiate a discount or something, it is up to him.
