Property Sale Annulment Based on Disguised Donation and Public Order Violation

Property Sale Annulment Based on Disguised Donation and Public Order Violation: A party sought annulment of a sale of property, alleging a sale price significantly lower than the true value constituted an offense against public order, while the purchaser argued the transaction was a valid gift due to a clear intent to donate, despite the transaction being formally labeled a sale; the court quashed the lower court's decision, reasoning that where the true intention behind a contract, such as a disguised donation, deviates from its apparent form, the court must look to that true intention to determine the legal qualification and validity of the act, and a disguised donation, if subject to revocation, does not necessarily render the initial act subject to nullity solely on the grounds of being contrary to public order unless other grounds for nullity exist.
