A party sought to enforce a contract for the sale of an immoveable property by demanding the execution of a formal deed, but the opposing party refused, claiming the contract was null due to a lack of required deliberation by a municipal council before its signature by the mayor. The court of first instance rejected this argument, finding the contract valid because the municipality had subsequently ratified the transaction through payment, and this ratification cured any initial defect in authority. The Court of Cassation overturned this decision, holding that for the sale of municipal property to be valid, the required deliberation must predate the act of sale, and subsequent ratification cannot cure the fundamental nullity of a contract executed without prior essential administrative approval.
