An individual, having sold an asset with an agreement for a price payable in installments, subsequently initiated legal action seeking the rescission of the sale due to the buyer's non-payment of the agreed-upon installments. The court of appeal affirmed the trial court's decision to grant the rescission, based on the express resolutory clause in the contract stipulating that non-payment would automatically void the agreement, and applying the principle that a breach of a substantial obligation, such as the price payment in an installment sale, justifies termination. The highest court upheld this decision, reasoning that the lower courts correctly interpreted the contractual clause and applied the established legal principle regarding the consequence of non-performance of the buyer's primary obligation, thereby rejecting the appeal.
