Buyer Sandra received the Public Offering Statement for a new condominium in Jersey City on a Friday and signed the purchase contract that same day. The following Friday, Sandra attempts to rescind the contract under PREDFDA. The developer argues that Sandra's rescission is untimely because seven calendar days have already passed. Is the developer correct?

Correct Answer

A) Yes, the developer is correct because seven calendar days from Friday ends on the following Thursday, so Friday is the eighth day

Under PREDFDA, the seven-day rescission period runs in calendar days from the date of receipt of the Public Offering Statement. Sandra received the POS on Friday (day 0 or day 1 depending on counting method). Counting Friday as day 1: Saturday=2, Sunday=3, Monday=4, Tuesday=5, Wednesday=6, Thursday=7. The rescission period expires at the end of Thursday. Sandra's attempt to rescind on the following Friday is on day 8, which is after the seven-day window has closed. The developer's argument that the rescission is untimely is correct.

Answer Options
A
Yes, the developer is correct because seven calendar days from Friday ends on the following Thursday, so Friday is the eighth day
B
No, the developer is incorrect because PREDFDA's seven-day period is measured in business days, excluding weekends
C
Yes, the developer is correct because Sandra waived her rescission right by signing the contract on the same day she received the POS
D
No, the developer is incorrect because Sandra signed the contract on the same day she received the POS, so the seven-day clock had not yet started
