Questão jurídica principal
Whether the bank incurred liability based on reliance created by the financing confirmation and silence
Decisão extraída
No special legal relationship or attributable conduct by the bank established a protected reliance claim; the buyer could not infer consent to release the mortgage without full payment.
Fundamentação extraída
The bank merely required a financing statement as a condition for the builder's credit. The disputed clause originated from the buyer's bank and was ambiguous; under the ambiguity rule it was construed against the drafting party. The bank's silence did not amount to consent.
