Can a purchaser bring an action on conditions and warranties contained in the deed of conveyance?
Ontario, Canada
The following excerpt is from Beatty v. Wei, 2018 ONCA 479 (CanLII):
An older line of cases held that a purchaser could only bring an action on conditions and warranties contained in the deed of conveyance, unless the parties stipulated at an earlier stage of their dealings that any conditions and warranties in the agreement of purchase and sale were not to be superseded by the deed: see, for example, Redican v. Nesbitt, 1923 CanLII 10 (SCC), [1924] S.C.R. 135, at pp. 146-47.
