Does a disclosure statement need to call upon a vendor to warrant a certain state of affairs?
British Columbia, Canada
The following excerpt is from Issler v. Wall, 2002 BCPC 494 (CanLII):
Madam Justice Loo in her decision in Lind v. MacLeod notes at para. 30: The disclosure statement does not call upon a vendor to warrant a certain state of affairs. It requires the vendor to say no more than that he or she is or is not aware of problems. The purpose of the disclosure statement is to raise questions and concerns rather than give detailed answers as to the disclosures made. (para. 28) Findings
