Questão jurídica principal
Whether the contractual warranty disclaimer covered the lack of immediate buildability of the sold land
Decisão extraída
Yes. The delay in buildability fell within the disclaimer under the circumstances and was not outside what a buyer could reasonably expect.
Fundamentação extraída
The court held that the relevant defect was delayed, not absent, buildability. Given the buyers' knowledge of the zoning and hazard situation and the individualized disclaimer referring to the zoning map and hazard zone, the risk of a delay in permitting was allocated to the buyers.
