When you are buying a home, a used car, or any items which are typically purchased from individuals (as opposed to businesses who customarily sell those items as part of their business), the rule of law that applies to this situation is caveat emptor.
Ontario courts have determined that the purchaser has to protect his own interests by inspecting the assets before he purchases them.
If he makes the mistake of purchasing the items without considering their condition, then he is stuck with the assets and the bargain that he has made, regardless of the faults or defects that the assets may have.
