Questione giuridica chiave
Whether the buyers could rescind the pre-contract for fundamental mistake under Art. 24(1) no. 4 OR based on alleged access and parking assurances.
Decisione estratta
No. The court held that the buyers failed to show any binding assurance that the land would have a driveway access or parking possibility, and they also failed to prove that these features were an essential basis of the contract.
Motivazione estratta
The Federal Court upheld the lower court's factual findings: the pre-contract, planning documents, and evidence did not establish any such promise. The buyers' submissions were largely appellatory and did not meet the requirements for challenging factual findings.
