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.
