An individual entered into a contract to purchase a piece of land but failed to complete the payment by the stipulated deadline, leading the seller to seek judicial termination of the sale and retention of the initial deposit as damages, in accordance with the contract's clause; the Court of Cassation upheld the lower court's decision to grant the termination and allow the seller to keep the deposit, reasoning that the buyer's failure to perform the essential obligation of timely payment justified the contractual remedy, as the clause imposing the penalty for non-performance was valid and the buyer had not demonstrated any legitimate grounds for non-compliance or sought judicial relief against the forfeiture before the seller acted on the termination right.
