Sale Nullity Due to Error in Immovable Property Area

A party appealed a lower court decision that had upheld a contract for the sale of an immovable property, arguing that the contract was void due to an error concerning the true area of the land being sold, which was substantially less than what was stated in the deed. The reviewing court overturned the lower court's ruling, reasoning that when the sale of an immovable is made by reference to its specific area, the true extent of the property is an essential element of the contract, and a significant disparity between the stated and actual area constitutes a valid ground for nullity based on error, as the buyer's consent was based on a false premise regarding the object of the sale.
