Abstract
The basic facts are that the purchasers of a hillside residence in San Carlos rescinded their completed contract because of misstatements made by the sellers to the effect that the property was served by a public sewer, when in fact the system was privately owned by the 13 residents of the area, who all had to share its maintenance costs. The trial court found that the sellers’ statements were negligent misrepresentations, but it declined to order rescission because of the complications involved in unwinding the deal. Instead, it ordered the sellers to indemnify the purchasers for their sewer maintenance costs over the next decade.
