A buyer purchased a house from a seller. It turned out that the concrete used to pour the foundation had been improperly mixed and the foundation was crumbling. The buyer discovered that the cost of repairing the defective foundation would be over $10,000. She filed suit against the seller for the cost of repairs. If the court rules in the buyer's favor, what is the likely reason

Answer:

The court will decide based on the structure report of the house. If it is found in the report that the foundation had been improperly mixed the repair cost can be recovered from the seller.

Step-by-step explanation:

It is responsibility of a seller to clearly inform buyer about any defects in the item which is been sold. The seller did not disclosed that the foundation had been improperly mixed so he is responsible for any repair cost that is incurred to fix his fault.
