14-5. Misrepresentation. Charter One Bank owned a fifteenstory commercial building. A fire inspector told Charter that the building's drinking-water and fire-suppression systems were linked, which violated building codes. Without disclosing this information, Charter sold the building to Northpoint Properties, Inc. Northpoint spent $280,000 to repair the water and fire- suppression systems and filed a suit against Charter One. Is the seller liable for not disclosing the building's defects? Discuss.
