Seller Refusal to Convey Land After Notarial Deed

A seller of land, having executed a deed of sale before a notary, subsequently refused to convey the property, leading the buyer to seek judicial enforcement of the sale, arguing the deed constituted a definitive transfer of ownership. The Court of Cassation quashed the lower court's decision, reasoning that while a notarial deed establishes a strong presumption of fact regarding the dates and contents mentioned, it does not automatically suffice to compel specific performance of a property transfer without further evidence or a clear legal basis for such enforcement, suggesting the prior deed alone was insufficient proof to mandate the final conveyance against the seller's will.
