Jean purchased an apartment from Charles in a very beautiful building in the city center of Lyon. However, after the sale of the property was carried out, Jean realized that the apartment was not one, but it was an attic converted, without even the co-ownership was informed of this. He will learn that the co-ownership has objected on several occasions to a change of use of the property or to any work being carried out there. The seller did not take these refusals into account and, on the contrary, intentionally concealed the information. The work carried out was also disastrous and damaged the property concerned. Jean then decides to take a legal action against the seller as well as the notary, drafter of the deed of sale in question. He claims, in addition to damages, the nullity of the contract and the restitution of the price he paid.
